I think Lincoln settled that one. It’s like Hotel California. Once in, you can never leave.

Well yes, but the south did leave illegally, even if there was no set process to leave in the first place.
I am thinking there should be a set process for a state to leave and if was reasonable and took more effort to leave than to join, and was spelled out HOW to do it, it could be added as an amendment to codify the process.
Say you have to have a state referendum of at least 75% of the state’s population who vote to leave, followed by 2/3 of the state legislature and signed off by the governor, then a say for instance 8 year process of de-state-ifying begins where federal assets are repatriated back to the state and state residents are given the choice to retain us citizenship and move to another state in the union, while people from other states may move into the new country without a visa and apply for new country citizen ship, etc....
Military assets and bases are transitioned to the state national guard and people in the US military who are residents of that state are given the choice to stay in the US arm they will have to move to another state or they can stay in the state that is leaving and be moved into that state’s national guard.
You would have a process of slowly handing over National parks to the state government as well as other “federal” assets etc...
But having a set process would allow a state to leave without needing any bloodshed because people voting to leave would know the process.
I just want to make you aware that I BEAT YOU BY 11 SECONDS!!!
