Let em go but they have to leave all military bases as part of the US.
Calexit is a good both for Californians and Americans.
1) Federal Military Bases ?
The US military currently has plenty of military bases in foreign countries. Some US bases in England have been ‘ours’ for 75 years. It’s a straightforward negotiation.
2) Social Security & Federal Pensions ?
Plenty of Americans living overseas already collect SS & Federal Pensions. California independence would not change existing SS benefits that have already been earned.
3) Water ?
Water rights and allocation of the Colorado River are governed by agreements ( treaties ) between the states. No change here.
4) Electricity ?
Independent California would buy power from ‘foreign’
power companies under existing power purchase agreements. No change here. FYI - about 1/3 of New Englands power is currently imported from Canada
5) Citzenship ?
likely to be negotiated, but there are currently millions of US citizens that hold dual citizenship. A non-issue.
When one closely examines Calexit, the deal breakers are mostly red herrings
