[Magdalen] Split California?

[Roger Stokes]

I haven't travelled the length of California as I started at LA before 
heading North but I know it's a Big State. I have also seen suggestions 
that it be split into a number of smaller states. There is a procedure 
for forming new states, as happened most recently with Hawaii and 
Alaska, but what would be the legal process of dividing an existing 
state into a number of smaller states? I would guess it would need an 
Act passed through Congress, where it might well stall as the effect 
would be four more Senators from that part of the world. It might also 
then need affirmation from a majority, possibly a super-majority, of the 
other 49 states to take effect.
