GOP Bill Would Allow New Hampshire To Secede

In Depth NH reports:

New Hampshire could be its own sovereign nation under a Constitutional Amendment proposed by state Rep. Mike Sylvia, R-Belmont, and now making its way through the halls of Concord, and if successful, to the ballot box.

Sylvia offered the measure Thursday for the state to peacefully secede from the United States. To get it past the House Committee on State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs would be the first step for CACR 32.

He said some may consider it a laughable question but he wondered what they might think of the answer. “The people of our state reserved to themselves every power not expressly delegated,” Sylvia said, including revolution.

More than 2000 Granite Staters have died of COVID-19 and our hospitals are over-capacity, but Rep. Mike Sylvia thinks this pandemic is over.

Do @GovChrisSununu and the @NHGOP agree? #NHPolitics https://t.co/p7im1FmGQQ
