Oh, but there are all sorts of details to work out…

• are citizens of the state no longer US citizens?
• if so, what happens to their Social Security? Medicare? I don’t want to keep paying for those freeloaders
• if they treat it like renouncing citizenship, they make those people pay taxes on all their assets and 401(k) holdings before leaving
• Do armed forces members from those states now get kicked out of the US armed forces and go to the new state’s armed forces?
• Does the new state get to take over any military bases and Federal buildings?
• Can the rest of us build a wall on the border and make them pay for it?

There’s a lot to iron out. The Brits got screwed with Brexit, and they weren’t even leaving a country.
