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.

As I've said, Wlat, law is not just made up as we go along. And regarding the Militia Act, it states insurrection, not withdrawal. What's your next desperate grasp at the quickly-receding straws going to entail, an appeal to the U.N. Charter?

And regarding the Militia Act, it states insurrection, not withdrawal.

No state has ever withdrawn from the Union.

The Act leaves it up to the president to decide when insurrection is active.

That's the law.
