萨克拉门托卡利夫报道，在川普当选第45任美国总统后，许多加州人民发声表示不同意，他们要求加州从美国脱离出去。

　　But can California actually secede from the United States?

　　但是图样的加州人民真的以为可以从联邦政府脱离吗？

　　In 1961 McDonald County Mo. briefly became McDonald Territory after attempting to secede from the state of Missouri. More recently a movement in Texas called for a #Texit from the United States and several northern California cities have proposed a State of Jefferson separated from California.

　　1961年麦克唐纳县曾经短暂的从密苏里州独立，拥有自己的领土。 最近的脱离联邦运动是德克萨斯州脱离美利坚运动，以及几个加州北部城市提出来的脱离加州管理组建一个新的杰佛逊州运动。

　　In California a political group dubbed the Yes California Independence Campaign is using the Trump win as an opportunity to breathe life into their crusade to make California an independent country. The group hopes to put a referendum on a 2018 ballot that will allow Californians to make the choice to #Calexit once and for all.

　　在加州一个“Yes California”独立运动政治组织将川普的获胜视为给他们为推动加州成为独立国家的“脱离”运动带来生气的绝好机会。这个组织希望能在2018年推动一项“#Calexit”全民公投让加州人对是否脱离美联邦做一次彻底的选择。

　　But states hopes of succession are nothing more than California Dreamin' according to David A. Carrillo Executive Director of the California Constitution Center at the University of California Berkeley Law.

　　但是加利佛尼亚伯克利分校法学院-加州宪法中心执行董事David A. Carrillo认为承继国家的希望（即加州独立）只不过是一个“加州梦”而已

　　"There is no legal basis for a state to secede from the unx." Carrillo said. "The U.S. Constitution (A4s3) has a procedure for adding new states or subdividing existing states--both require Congress to consent. But there is no procedure at all in the U.S. constitution for a state to secede."

　　Carrillo说：“一个州从美国联邦脱离并没有法律基础，美国宪法只规定了新的州如何加入联邦以及如何将已有的州分割的程序——这两个程序都需要经过国会通过。但是在整个美国宪法中都没有对一个州如何退出联邦的程序进行阐明。”

　　In Texas v. White in 1869 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that states cannot secede.

　　在1869年德克萨斯州诉怀特案时，美国联邦最高法院规定州政府不能脱离联邦。

　　California's own Constitution (A3s1) states that "The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land."

　　加利福尼亚州的州宪法（第三条第一款）指出：“加利福尼亚州是美利坚合众国不可分割的一部分，美利坚合众国宪法是国家的根本大法。”

　　Carrillo also discussed the probability and previous outcomes from other states.

　　Carrillo也谈到了加州独立的可能性和其他州之前谋求独立的结果。

　　"It's extremely unlikely California could secede legally or otherwise." he said. "A group of states tried that once. It ended very badly for them."

　　他表示：“无论是否通过合法手段，加州独立都是根本不可能的。有几个州曾经尝试过独立，但都以失败告终。”
