I don't know of an explicit prohibition against uniateral secession. I do know that U.S. law requires that U.S. law operate in all the states.

And once a state has withdrawn from the Union, U.S. law no longer applies. Are you familiar with Georgetown, D.C.? Its a good analogy. I'll explain it to you if you need help.

Not possible under U.S. law.

A state might withdraw under natural law, but it would have to make a better effort than the rebels did in 1860-65. Theirs was pretty lame.

Note to self and Walt: Not Georgetown, D.C., but Alexandria, D.C.
