When a state legally secedes, it's no longer part of the Union.
FIFY
'FIFY' to you too?
When a state legally secedes? What is that supposed to mean? The FedGov can decide if a state issuing article of secession is legal or not? What do they do, take a vote on it? 51% wins? Did the 13 colonies ask Britain's permission to not be a part of their empire? All a 'legal secession' requires is a determination on the part of the people to secede. And that they did, enough to have their reps draft, vote on, and issue official, legal, articles of secession.

Unilateral secession is unconstitutional, so says the Supreme Court in Texas v. White. There’s only one legal way to secede and that is through mutual decision of all the affected states.
