Thanks Sharon Tate!

I'll take a look at the book. I have to agree that regardless of what the Constitution says, we are locked into a unified executive-judicial branch interpretation of it.
Prime example of that:
Texas v. White (1869) where the US Supreme Court interpreted that "The Constitution, in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union, composed of indestructible States." They ruled that no state may vote to leave the Union, period. Thus a forced union.
The Founding Fathers would be appalled.
