Article V is not an implied power. Secession is a reserved power since it was not prohibited by the Constitution.

Neither Article V, nor any other article, says a state cannot be expelled by the other states. Try this, if it makes it easier for you. Don't think of it as one state being expelled by the other states. Think of it as every other state seceding from that one.
