I don't actually think it will. The US constitution prevents States from adopting their own legal tender besides gold and silver, but it gets the conversation going.

it wouldn't be the first time something gets approved at the state level which goes against the constitution - the ongoing argument if it does will be good for bitcoin.

"No State shall make any thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts"
If Bitcoin is "unconstitutional" according to this, then Fiat also became unconstitutional in 1971 when they removed the Gold Standard.
