10th Amendment
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.
I think the power to leave could be covered under this provision. More convoluted interpretations of the constitution have certainly been made by our illustrious courts. I have a hard time believing our freedom loving forefathers would have agreed to enter into a union that they couldn't leave especially after they had just fought for their freedom.
James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and others all wrote about states leaving the Union and in every instance they visualized it as a negotiated separation approved by both the states remaining as well as the states leaving. At no time did they say that states could just up and walk out for any reason or for no reason at all and without resolving any points of contention ahead of time. The South did not follow that. They walked out without discussion and without resolving issues like debt or property.
Yet they signed up to the "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union Between the States..."
I think the power to leave could be covered under this provision.
Hard to reserve or cover a power you don't have.
Heeere she is— baited by the ABC, TIME, Fortune Mag, and... Disney media dynasty- members of the leftists tribe, who luuuuuv Ivanka (rabbi catching her going non-kosher before Seder... get it?) their hope for securing a future for the “insiders”—who will just as easily turn on them, whenever they want— so typical behaviour. This is HOW they work, the fake mainstream. This legislator is quite popular in NC— they are wasting their time on him, but there is a reason.. as many here in “out of context” FReeperland, and our sleeper trolls of the uni-party never trumpers rise in aiding to the confusion. You knew Breitbart was proudly Jewish right, Lefties? G-dmnd commie biotch of the former “press”.

The 10th amendment deals with the fact that Federal power was limited to more then just the first 9 amendments, it gave no right for States to secede.
