Individuals can't (practically) secede. And it is done via the states, for example the state governments choose senators. Right now this is done via popularity

Individuals can't (practically) secede. And it is done via the states, for example the state governments choose senators. Right now this is done via popularity contests in every state but there's nothing in the constitution or federal law requiring that.

- msgodel 1y agoYeah that's completely meaningless as far as the possibility of secession is concerned. All it means is that if you secede and reenter then all the legislation you did as a separate state is void which is completely reasonable.
