they can split their ruined state into 33 pieces for all I care. Congress retains authority to admit or NOT admit new states... and it ain’t gonna happen...(note that putting such a measure on the ballot does NOTHING since it is the state’s Legislature... not voters... AND CONGRESS that decide. Putting the proposal on the ballot is a giant political CIRCUS....which, come to think of it, pretty well summarizes the once-golden state of Californication nowadays anyway, ha!)
Constitution of the USA:
“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.
Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1
But who knows how long that will be?
Or whether California will still want to split up years down the road?
The District of Columbia is ahead of California and there may be conflict if California tries to jump ahead of them.
“Putting the proposal on the ballot is a giant political CIRCUS....”
This is how the left gets it’s crazy agenda passed in California. Used initially bypass the Republican legislature it was later used to consolidate 100% control of the state government. This is one of the prime reasons that California is as it is.
