And at the time it would have to be veto proof because Lincoln was President; and I don't think he would have signed it. Constitutionally a president plays no role in the admission of a state so I see no role for him in allowing states to leave. A presidential veto wouldn't be an issue.

NOPE but in the TYRANT's case, he would have "called out troops" to use the "law of the bayonet" to enforce HIS will.
