Britain to Trigger Article 50 by March 2017

British Prime Minister Theresa May has said Britain will trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty (that governs EU Law) by March 2017. Article 50 allows any state to withdraw from the European Union. Once Article 50 is triggered, a period of negotiations will take place between the UK and the remaining 27 countries.   These discussions will include the date of actual "Brexit" and the trade terms on which Britain will leave the EU.
