HOW COME STATES CAN'T SUCCEED - EZ EXPLANATION

The People who live in a state DO NOT OWN the TERRITORY making up any state.

That goes for everyone newcomers and people whose family have lived in a state for generations.

Likewise, the government of any state which was created by laws of the United States does NOT own the territory of the state they govern.*


The TERRITORY OF A STATE is OWNED BY THE USA.

The citizens of the USA who live in any of the 50 states are citizens of the USA.

NOT ONE single person in the USA is a Citizen of their state, because legally there is no such thing as being a citizen of a state that is equal to or superior in nature to being the citizen of the USA.

All such assertions reflect are "honorary". 

They do NOT reflect any sort of legal status recognized by the USA or any other nation.

Some people confuse RESIDENCY with citizenship.

But Residency does not equal or is it a form of CITIZENSHIP. Otherwise a person's status would NOT change simply by moving to another state.


Citizenship and the constitution do NOT give anyone the right to take property owned by the USA established by war and treaties as their own property. 


For that reason there is NO type of vote, NO type of declaration that can be made by people living any state that can legally create the basis for succession.


Of course then there is the fact that a significant minority, often a majority of a state has NO desire to succeed.


People who think their state has a right to succeed seem to believe those who don't agree have no rights at all, and can be forced to move somewhere else while they steal territory belonging to the USA under the guise of succession.


And that is what succession boils down to, an attempt to steal property belonging to the USA own in the name of all citizens by a few dissatisfied few.


*(the civil war settled the question as to whether or not the states that were the original 13 colonies that formed the USA were exceptions. They are not.)
