What the 10th Amendment says is: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The word 'explicitly' does not appear, and you completely forgot the part about powers prohibited to the states. Implied in the Constitution is the need for Congressional approval to leave.

Just curious, what part of the Constitution says that the Constitution can "imply" delegated powers to the federal government? Secession is not mentioned in the document, correct?

Therefore, secession is neither delegated (dictionary.com defines this as "committed") to the federal government, nor is it prohibited to the states. How does congressional approval fit into this, then? The congress, constitutionally, cannot self-delegate powers that are not already given them because such powers "are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people".

I'm afraid I fail to follow your leap of logic, FRiend.
