Secession is legal because there is nothing in the Constitution that prevents it. Since it is legal then the only question remaining is how to go about it? How to permit secession so that both sides of the matter, the states leaving and the states staying, have all their rights protected? The only way to do that is through negotiation and then approval of a majority of the states as expressed through a majority vote in both houses of Congress. In short, leaving should be not more difficult than joining. The hard part would be the negotiations leading up to the vote, but without those negotiations and agreement by both sides you are guaranteeing an acrimonious split.
Thanks:
So please give me your opinion on whether it is legal or not and why you think that way?
