"If secession was illegal would it surprise if the US Senate voted on legislation making it illegal?"

That Senate journal you put forward is dated 1861. Right in the middle of the secession crisis. Can you show me where the founders thought that states had the power to secede?

I have an idea, why don't you research your own hypotheses as your supposition is not that interesting?
