There is no process defined in the Constitution to split a state. She would have better luck taking over part of Mexico. That can be done with some guns and cash.

It's specifically forbidden in fact.

“There is no process defined in the Constitution to split a state.”

The Constitution does not provide for seccession of the various states.

Article IV, section 3 gives rules for admitting NEW states, however (splitting states included):

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
