You've probably noticed several states submitting notices to the federal government notifying them of their declaration of Sovereignty. This is done, because they are a little leery of openly declaring they are seceding from the union. That, along with thousands of petitions--one, startlingly enough, from California--declaring citizens desire to separate from the Union at the earliest, are then done in by an included request for "permission"!
WHAT? You declare you're sovereign and wish to be left alone and then request agreement from the federal government??
I can't believe you said that!
Worse yet, you claim you have a right to do all of this, but give yourself away by asking for the fed's acquiescence!
Obama is sitting back and getting a gigantic belly laugh, every time he receives one of these.
In the first place--and contrary to popular opinion--there is nothing in the constitution that gives the federal government the power to stop states from seceding. No matter what President Lincoln said, or did, he did not have to authority to stop states from taking the actions they did, back in 1861.
What he DID do, is to use federal troops to bully those states back into line. His authority was the big stick!
A much better explanation of a state's right to secede is presented here by a better authority:

So what would Obama do? The same damned thing--and he'd call himself Lincoln II, while doing it!
Whether he was right or wrong would then be decided by the military. Seceding states would be wise to seek agreements from the military, not for physical aid, but for neutrality. If the military decided to remain neutral, the State's National Guard would serve as the military arm of the NEW United States.
Once they have seceded, the seceding states would have to "borrow" the constitution, declaring it their own. They would have to notify the Obama government that they were now considered illegally in possession of government buildings and ask them to evacuate immediately. If any person in the Obama administration wanted to join the new government, they should be allowed to leave their offices peacefully. Any government officials who chose to stay, would be arrested and removed.
The only thing left to do to accomplish this, is to find several states with the nerves to band together and openly oppose the present government.
--or, putting it to music, let's "Begin the Beguine"!

Actually, not a single STATE has applied to secede. A few whackos, in a few states have signed petitions. They are in the vast minority, even in the reddest of States and there is nothing official about them, nor are they in any manner elected to represent their States.
Basically, all the commenting on them is much ado about nothing.
Ummm, wrong again, Placidair!
Texas has given notice of secession!
You c'ud look it up! :>)
