If they are expelled then they are no longer a state, are they?

For which constitutionally enumerated power is expulsion of a state necessary and proper?

There is nothing in the Constitution mentioning expulsion. Since it is not enumerated then it is not forbidden to the states, is it? And there is nothing in the Constitution defining 'necessary and proper'. So why can't the states expel another state for any reason at all?
