It'll never happen

That wasn't my question. It was whether it is theoretically possible or not. Brexit was a peaceful event with all its checks and processes in place.

The EU had a documented process for a member state to leave. It was untested and messy, but it existed.

There's no legal basis for a state to leave the US. Now it's possible we let it happen despite this, with or without armed conflict, but it's hard to imagine a hypothetical Texit not being messier than Brexit ever was

last time they tried there was a civil war, that pretty much sums up how legal it is.
