If it is to be by Democracy you would have to get overwhelming support in the breakaway states and probably a majority in the country as a whole as well. Every state that wanted to leave would have to vote yes plus if you want to make sure there is no war you would have to get Congress to vote yes as well.

But even without war the economic, legal, and political complications would make the whole process messy.
