Can a state separate from the union?

Question

what would need to happen/

Answer 1

No, they cannot!  We went through this in the Civil War, never again!  Please!  Once a state has petitioned to be admitted to become a state & they are admitted, they are in it until we no longer are a country!

Answer 2

A state can separate. The state would need to declare secession and then they would be viewed upon as rebels and then the Government would attack the state.

Answer 3

No, even though it is a right written in the Constitution, but Lincoln made it clear, we don't always get the right's we're promised.

Answer 4

An option to Suceed remains in the Texas Constitution to this day.

Answer 5

The South tried to...but failed to stay away long.  I guess one could...and if one did, I think that Texas should be the first...since it gave us such an 8 year headache.
