The United States shall be replaced in its entirety as a sovereign state with two new independent sovereign states: one being the “Blue Country” and one being the “Red Country.” The new Blue Country will consist of the District of Columbia and the twenty-two current states of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, west Virginia, and Wisconsin. The new Red Country shall consist of the twenty-eight current states of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming. The citizens of the Territories will vote for independence from, inclusion to, either of the two new sovereign countries.
Section 2
The two new sovereign states shall each adopt the current United States Constitution in its entirety including all amendments and precedents.
Section 3
No state or federal laws or precedents shall be changed by this amendment and will be in effect after the adoption of this amendment by both the Red Country and the Blue Country. The new Red Country and the new Blue Country shall, as sovereign countries, modify, interpret, and amend their respective laws and constitutions as authorized under their constitutions.
Section 4
The current federal congress, administration, and supreme court shall exist for two years after the adoption of this amendment. The only powers of the old United States government shall be to divide all the federal assets and obligations, including the military, equally between the Blue Country and the Red Country based on the population as recorded by the 2010 censes, namely forty seven percent to the Red Country and fifty three percent to the new Blue Country. Federally owned real property shall be owned by the new sovereign country in which it is located.
Section 5
Each new sovereign country will establish its own supreme court according to its own constitution. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals will continue except the states of Alaska, Montana, Idaho, and Arizona will be reassigned to the 10th District, and the states of Michigan, Ohio and west Virginia will be reassigned to the 3rd District. The federal courts will continue in the states previously authorized. Three of the current supreme court justices are to be selected for each of the new countries. The three unselected justices will retire after they adjudicate conflicts in the division of assets and obligations from the old United States to the two new countries.
Section 6
All foreign treaties and other agreements in effect at the time of the adoption of this amendment shall remain in place for both the new Blue Country and to the new Red Country. The new Blue Country and the new Red Country may renegotiate or change any foreign agreement or treaty and establish mutual treaties as independent sovereign countries.
Section 7
All citizens of the current United States shall have dual citizenship with the new Blue Country and the new Red Country for five years after the adoption of this amendment, after which they will be granted sole citizenship in the country of residence. For the same period of five years, a border state may secede from either the new Blue Country or the new Red Country and join the adjacent country by a two-thirds vote of that state’s legislative bodies, and a majority of the accepting country’s house and senate. Residents of non-state territories shall vote for independence or incorporation to either the new Red Country or the new Blue Country.
