14. Exactly. There's no process in the Constitution to relieve a territory of Statehood once it's brought in as a State

Once you become a state you just can't quit and if you do the Fed has every Constitutional right to bring you back into the fold, with the full force of the federal military if a State refuses. That's why these calls by any States to secede, even if its just bloviating, are not only ridiculous, they are dangerous. This is the kind of shit that makes the Fascist Fat Cats of the world smile with a wide Cheshire grin.
