Nope, sorry. The first section of the Resolution specifically required the adoption of “a republican form of government.”

Again, your interpretation does not hold up, because it renders the entire section superfluous and utterly meaningless.

But who ensures the republican form of government? Congress does!

The Texans of 1868 didn't agree with your interpretation. When the proposed state of West Texas drafted its constitution, it knew that the constitution would be submitted to Congress for approval.
