"They were admitted, and only with the permission of a majority of the other states as expressed through a vote in both houses of Congress. Why shouldn't leaving require the same?"

Rules regarding admission do not necessarily imply similar (if any) rules regarding departure. If you were right, anyone who entered the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes would need some kind of official permission to disassociate themselves with said program.

In other words, you're wrong - as usual...
