An alternative (possibly dangerous) would be to move your state legislature to petition congress to call a constitutional convention. But once the convention is called, the delegates could do whatever they want.
Finally.......
A person with the sense to answer (?) the question. Maybe we can by having our States succeed or threaten to, or demand a constitutional convention to be used to shake up congress.

"Maybe we can by having our States succeed or threaten to, or demand a constitutional convention to be used to shake up congress." Yeah OK first a Constitutional Convention was proposed upthread AND as shown it would literally take years if not decades which by then Obama would be long gone from office.
Second you will find succession has been tried before. It became a bit messy. And it would still take years. Oh and the last time States succeeded from the Union over a President who they wanted out of office he was reelected. Further IF the states had not succeeded he might not have been reelected but because the Electors of those states didn't submit their votes the President won easily.
