A minority of the population lives in 37 states. A majority lives in 13. Seeing as many small states are not purple, but red as hell, this would provide a means to remove Democratic presidents at will.

Further, it legitimizes the mistaken belief that states are sovereign. They are little better than convenient administrative units which are preserved in their current form by an accident of history, not because they have some intrinsic power. States can't secede and they can't override federal legislation. I fail to see how this measure would be congruent with these essential precepts of American politics.
