Looks logical to me.

I know this was something else that was discussed years back: Can a state be expelled from the USA? Is there a mechanism to do so?

Short answer: no, there is nothing in the Constitution that permits Congress or the other states to kick out a state without such state’s consent (heck, one can’t even approve a constitutional amendment getting rid of a state, since one would be reducing such state’s equal representation in the Senate without its consent). So we need to convince Hawaii, Vermont, etc. that they should become independent.
