Consider the rights of the states that allow them to secede and if they want to, let them.

If the Petitions that wish to grant the States separation from the Union are seen by the not so knowledgeable Obama Administration, I want them to take into consideration that if States can voluntarily join the United States, they have just as much of a right to secede. If the Administration knows their history, they will know that in the 1830s, John C. Calhoun, one of the most well known political theorists and more importantly a member of the Democratic party, wanted the South to secede. He was a smart politician of that time, and regardless whether the Obama Administration looks at this or not, People need to know that if states want to secede they have every right to secede as they had every right to become a part of the United States of America.
