U.S. Supreme Court in MILWAUKEE COUNTY v. M.E. WHITE CO., 296 U.S. 268 (1935).
'Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.' And Congress has exercised this power, by Act of May 26, 1790....
Congress exercised its power and issued its prescription 70 years before the WBTS.

The question is not whether Congress issued a prescription, but whether someone took his prescription.

Congress exercised its power and issued its prescription 70 years before the WBTS.

And it's allowed to do so at any time per Article IV.

I was about to cite your earlier post of the 1790 Act:

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That the acts of the legislatures of the several states shall be authenticated by having the seal of their respective states affixed thereto:

Not much of a barrier to secession.
