Is it true that California might be seperated into two states?

Question

I heard that california might be seperated into two states. One being South California and the other being North California. I was wondering is this true.

Answer 1

That is against art. IV sec. 3 of the US Constitution.

No can do.

Edit: except with consent of the Cali state legislature and the US congress. Probably not going to happen.

Re-edit: I think I was wrong in my previous edit. As I read it, Art. IV sec. 3 of the US Constitution does not allow two new states to be formed from one that already exits. However, West Virgina was formed out of Virginia, but that was during the Civil War and the constitution may have played a back seat to politics then.

Of course, such a thing would *never* happen today. The constitution *always* trumps politics (wink, wink).

Answer 2

a million. Implication could be 0. Northern California is merely as though not extra liberal than Southern California so there could be no internet benefit. 2. There could be fewer congressmen/congresswomen and a pair of or 4 extra senators in the event that they chop up into 3 states. 3. There could be 2 or extra governors. 4. and we could ought to undergo different factors of view of insanity from the land of end result and nuts. 5. probability of occuring approximately .a million p.c.. 6. i think of California ought to chop up off into the Pacific and develop into its own united states. Then it merely isn't a thorn in the area of something of u . s . a . like it is been for the previous forty years.

Answer 3

They've been talking about that for over 100 years ... its never going to happen. It would be more likely for Quebec to become independent from Canada than for California to split into two states ...

Answer 4

southern Oregon and Northern californians have been advocating a joining and calling it the state of "Jefferson" after our third president who ordered the exploration of the west.

The two halves of the two states are tired of being push around by the highly populated cities to their north and south. Portand and Los Angeles.

Answer 5

Not currently in the works.

Answer 6

Actually it was three. The northern most section would be called, INSOLENT, the central INEPT and the southern INSOLVENT.

Answer 7

no

rural northern califonia doesn't really want to be stuck with either sacramento or san francisco -- they'd far prefer to be in a state with san diego.

Answer 8

As soon as the Big earth quake hits...

Answer 9

whatever will happen to me? i'm central. well, on the border, but i don't want to be identified with southern. i guess we are already separate in our own elitest way.

Answer 10
