I don’t see it in the constitution but the congress has used a process before for admitting states and I would argue they would use the same one.

If Congress used a process for admitting states then why would they not use a process for letting states leave? Ideally the same one?

I am not a scholar of this issue, just saying I don’t know how the feds can force a state to stay except by military force.

If a state resorts to rebellion then isn't force by the federal government justified?

were are you getting the word rebellion. You haven’t established the feds right to force a state to stay in Whereas Jefferson laid the ground work to leave

You keep getting tripped up by this word "Rebellion" which assumes the conclusion. It was not rebellion. States are sovereign and have the right to unilateral secession.
