If a state can leave the union merely by holding a convention or a referendum and the saying, "I'm not a state anymore" then why can't states join the Union by holding a referendum or a convention, sending representatives to Washington, and saying "I'm a state now?"
Because the other states that are in would have to agree to admit the state filing to be admitted.
