Yes,just as you're surely aware of the basic point I'm trying to make.

No, I'm afraid I'm not. What the governments of Canada or the United Kingdom can do has absolutely no bearing on what the President of the United States can do under the Constitution.

But then,if you subscribe to the Eagles' philosophy that "you can check out any time you like but you can never leave",perhaps you *don't* understand.

You can check out any time you want, so long as it's with the agreement of a majority of the other states. Or do you believe that only the leaving states have any rights under the Constitution and the remaining states have none?

Yes,that's *exactly* what I believe.And,unlike you,I see the spectacle of the 1st Infantry Division and the 8th Air Force attacking,say,Nebraska after their secession vote to be a huge part of the reason why the Royal Canadian Air Force wouldn't have attacked Quebec if they had declared independence or why the Royal Navy won't attack Scotland if they do so next year.

Remember...8th Air Force + sorties over Nebraska = worldwide financial collapse.For starters.
