Also, I'm not sure I agree that secession is un-Constitutional.

But the president's use of force to ensure that United States law operate in all the states -is- constitutional.

But only if the President himself acts within the framework of thr Constitution, which Lincoln did not.

Yes indeed, in all of the states in the Union.
