Admission to the Union and changes in status once you are in are controlled by that.

Nope. The framers REJECTED a motion to grant the military to power to prevent secession of a state. Can you cite a clause granting the federal government the power to prevent secession?

But it does give the government the power to suppress rebellion.

Can you cite a clause granting the federal government the power to prevent secession?

Article I, Section 10 and Aricle IV, Section 3.
