The real question here is if most states would even want that. Despite the downsides of the national government, there's a lot of benefits as well. As a newly formed country, a state would have to fund a military, pay for infrastructure currently paid for by the US government, devise their own type of social security (or not, but that money would be lost to the union that is left), ensure that the citizen's money is held in banks in the given state, create new passports, grow their own food or otherwise negotiate trade agreements, etc.
