In a practical sense, a state cannot secede. I have heard it said that a state would need the permission of the other 49 states to secede.

In theory, 75% of the states could ratify a constitutional amendment allowing - say - California to secede. That amendment would be the supremem law of the land, and no federal action contrary to the amendment would be allowed.
