I don't think there is a formal mechanism that allows States to succeed from the United States. That seems to have been the established constitutional position following the Civil War. Once you are in, you are in.

Similar to Spain.

I personally disagree with both those positions both morally and in international law - but neither the Spanish or American governments seem that fussed about my point of view here.

I also disagree that it's right. But it does seem to be the case.
