[#3Fan] Secession is an act of the legislature, not something that a clerk simply stamps like a marriage, and the Congress can decide how it is proved.

[#3Fan] Again, secession is an act of the legislature, not a simple marriage that a clerk stamps and it's done.

One look at ANY ordinance of secession and you would have known that it was not an act of the legislature. I do not have time to do your homework for you.

We, the people of the State of Florida, in convention assembled, do solemnly ordain, publish, and declare, That the State of Florida hereby withdraws herself from the confederacy of States existing under the name of the United States of America and from the existing Government of the said States; and that all political connection between her and the Government of said States ought to be, and the same is hereby, totally annulled, and said Union of States dissolved; and the State of Florida is hereby declared a sovereign and independent nation; and that all ordinances heretofore adopted, in so far as they create or recognize said Union, are rescinded; and all laws or parts of laws in force in this State, in so far as they recognize or assent to said Union, be, and they are hereby, repealed.
