California has announced a proposal, called “Calexit” that would establish it as a separate nation from the U.S., officials have said.

The proposal for California to secede from the U.S. was submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office on Thursday, according to a report.

The proposed “Calexit” initiative was a name borrowed from the UK’s “Brexit” departure from the EU.

“Calexit” would ask voters to repeal part of the state constitution that declares California an inseparable part of the U.S.

A recent poll found that one in three California residents would support a possible secession from the U.S. due to their opposition to President Donald Trump, according to the proposal.

No mention has been made of the president in the proposal.

If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and is approved by voters, it could be a step to a future vote on whether the state would break away from the rest of the nation.

Secretary of State Alex Padilla said the group behind the proposal, ‘Yes California Independence Campaign’, was cleared to begin attempting to collect nearly 600,000 voter signatures needed to place the plan on the ballot.

“In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values.

“And our continued statehood means California will continue subsidising the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children,” the Yes California Independence Campaign’s website says. (NAN)

Moreover the Russians were the first Europeans outside the Spanish to lay claim to any part of modern California

This is madness... .when their preferred candidate was in power they didn't bring up this useless proposal...they should stop behaving like some people in Nigeria who threatens hell when things don't go their way... .America will always be stronger together.

The World z Advancing, a time will reach when almost every ethnic group will be agitating for Self Rule.........Watching hw this z going to unfold
Nigeria will be better of when split into different ethnic/religious affiliations.
Because, there will be more healthy competition amongst the different tribe[ As a Sovereign State] for development, and there will be more peace, bc by then no Christian will be heading Moslems or vice versa. [itz like a True Federalism ]
What z preventing Nigeria's break up z the Concentration of oil at a particular region, of which the other regions without oil cannot easily let go bc of the huge Contribution of oil to the economy of a Country.
