So Americans need to switch it off and on again. Gather up new founding fathers and mothers, write up a new constitution and declaration of independence - write up documents for a new federation between states...
Create a back up United States. Declare the old one null and void. Stop interacting with the old one. Start interacting with the new one.

I can't wait to be the United Coca-Cola States of Unilever America.
