It would be the easy part.

However, due to the Northwest Ordinance, it would have to be 60,000 people.

The moon is not in the Northwest Territory, so that does not apply.  Indeed, Nevada was admitted with under 60,000 people in the expectation that it would rapidly grow, which did not pan out.

The United States has signed a treaty in which it has pledged not to annex any part of the Moon.

The Outer Space Treaty can be exitted with one year notice.  Not that I think that would be a good thing to do.

A blue moon?  I can't see that happening very often.
