You can't secede. There's no legal mechanism.

You've just got to try to preserve voting rights, and tighten up on gerrymandering, so that you get fewer of these minority-backed presidencies.

I don't know what you do about the damage said presidents have done to the supreme court. With sufficient influence in the house of reps and the senate they can be removed for being placed there to be a hack.

Who said it would be legal?

Illegally seceding isn't seceding. It's a bunch of people saying that they're independent and being wrong.

Wrong according to whom? The country you seceded from? Well, if that country no longer exists then does it really matter? And why would anyone care about the laws of the country you are trying to get freed from? Was the break down of Soviet Union legal? No but nobody cares because Soviets don't exists and have no army to enforce the breaking of their laws.

Wrong according to whom?

According to whether they will be able to have diplomatic contact with the world, ignore federal and state law, release currency, tax people, provide services, be an independent nation.

Eastern European nations do have diplomatic contact with the world, they have taxation, they provide services and seem pretty independent. I'm not worried.
