Hello.
Today a friend and I discussed the situation of the European Union. The EU exists based on a series of international treaties. These treaties define how different countries may apply for EU-membership; and based on those treatieses there are different procedures and regulations about how new members join the EU.
It is quite interesting to see that the EU-treatieses don't provide any regulations for a) how memberstates may leave the EU or b) how the EU can expulse members.
During this conversation we wondered: What is the situation with the US? Does the constitution or any other regulation within the US provide procedures or regulations for states of the US to leave or get expulsed from the US again?
This is only a very theoretical thought. I don't think there is any need for any US-state to leave the US; and I don't want to encourage any such thought. This is only for me to know if there are certain rules or not ...
Thank you in advance. All the best!
Liam
