Excellent!

 

Having said that, it’s difficult to imagine the United States going through the various processes for acquiring new territory such as, but not limited to, diplomacy, purchase, and war, in order to allow the states thus formed to later leave the union.

 

Therefore, since new states acquired in such a manner have *all* the rights of the old states, the ‘right’ to secede must not be one of them...
