    Well, to be fair, there are many ways to make someones life annoying even without legal means.

    As for the fucking up, you can read the link I provided. They actually debated such a clause, but it was abandoned several times for various reasons (I think most important is that some countries get uneasy by other countries having the power to remove them from the union). Anyone know how this is for the US. Can a state be unilaterally expulsed?

    Dunno about expulsion, but any state or group of states can legally secede.

      One would think so. But a lot of people in the U.S. apparently feel differently.
