[Publius Valerius]

I think that you're searching for rules when there wouldn't necessarily be any rules. As far as the mechanics, the State could go about it any darn way it pleased--after all, there is no one to answer to.

I would suspect, though, secession would occur by a resolution passed by both houses of the legislature. You might very well have Virginia situations where parts of the state peel off, but these are questions that can't be answered until they happen. There's no precedent for this type of stuff.

Not even the people of the state?
