A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    There is no “gives Texas power” about that. If Texas were to leave, the big bargaining issues would be on water rights and what to do about social security.

      There’s no legal way for Texas to leave the union. If Texas did, it’d be treason. No bargaining, only civil war.

        I was only speaking to if the method of leaving the union was to be approved.

        It’s Insurrection not treason. Treason is very narrowly defined as giving Aid & Comfort to a foreign power. People misuse treason way too often.
