Right again Aurelius. There is NOTHING in the Constitution addressing Seccession of a state.

Well, of course that is simply wrong.

The Constitution guarantees that each state shall have a republican government. If a state may withdraw, that would no longer apply. The states -must- remain in the Union to give this part of the Constitution effect.

Your statement is just false.

ZULU,

A state cannot secede from the Union anymore than you can.
