Sorry, Sweetie, Texas IS the only state with a legal right to secede.

(Read your bio. I do appreciate your service to our country, though.)

Hubris? Moi?? Nah. See my bio. LOL

(Reference: the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848)

The formal controversy about the legality of the annexation of Texas stems from the fact that Congress approved the annexation of Texas as a territory with a simple majority vote approval instead of annexing the land by Treaty, as was done with Native American lands
