“legal course of action “
What legal doctrine would that be? Please be specific. Please also state the legal process by which a State may seceed from the United States and your legal reference for the process. You keep saying there is one, yet, you’ve never defined it.
My belief is that the process for leaving should be the same as the process for joining - with the approval of the other states as expressed through a majority vote in both houses of Congress. The process should be: 1) a state demonstrates that it's people want to leave the U.S.; 2) matters concerning debt, obligations, federal property, and the like are negotiated and a fair and equitable settlement is reached; 3) Congess votes to partition; 4) we wave bye-bye. And the idea is not new and it isn't mine. James Madison said that a fair and equitable separation requires the consent of both sides.
