Texas is the only state that can secede.
Texas can become five states but it can’t legally secede.
Montana
Doubtful.
ansell is right.
There is nothing concrete in the annexation agreement that permits Texas to secede. We did, however, reserve the right to separate into as many as four additional states.
We also kept possession of all our public lands — they were not ceded to the Union.
There’s another issue that some have debated, and that is whether the annexation agreement of 1845 was nullified after secession and readmission after the Civil War. It is possible that the post-war readmission agreement would override the previous agreement of 1845.
I noted the poll that Drudge posted that 75% of Texans would vote against secession. I think that is true, myself included — as of TODAY.
The question is how far Big O will try to push us in the future and what the breaking point might be.
Texas is the only state that can secede.’
I have been proposing that 12 states secede and form The Western States of America.
If legally, only Texas can secede, and the other 11 cannot- then I suggest:
Texas take over Idaho- Montana- Wyoming- N Dakota- S Dakota- Nebraska- Kansas- Oklahoma- Colorado- Nevada- and Utah-
Call all those areas TEXAS—with the current names called REGIONS.
Tell the Feds to get out and off all the land that they have control over now....Drill for oil and gas—Mine for gold and other items— and keep the coal mines going and open new ones in S Utah. Keep the ranchers and farmers producing what they are good at producing...
The states outside that region- particularly Kalifornia which buys 80% of their electricity from outside of their own borders—can figure out how much their energy purchases are going to cost them in the future.
TEXAS—and all it’s regions NEVER sign the Kyoto Treaty.
And Montana.
