Whoever planned this is very intelligent. TX is one of the handful of states that has a constitution allowing the state to secede from the union. I heard there might be others in the East coast but since I am in the Midwest, I know TX is the one and only.
That's a bit of a myth actually. We're only allowed to split up into as many as 5 states but not to secede. However, there is a grassroots effort to put the question of secession on the ballot.
Lincoln showed the world what happens when states try to secede from the US. The unfortunate truth is that Lincoln invaded a sovereign country because the south had formerly seceded including electing a president. These are troubled times. I'm an American, but I'm a Texan first.
As I understand this topic, the individual states are only required Constitutionally to be a part of the US as long as each of the two parties provided a Republic form of government. In the case of any state, therefore, if the Federal Government ceases to provide a Republic form of government, then the individual states can secede from the Union. I would fair to say that a Banana Republic (and I am not trying to be funny here...we are a textbook definition of a Banana Republic) does not fit the bill for a Constitutional Republic...the only thing these two have in common is the word.
Wikipedia: "A banana republic is a country with an economy of state capitalism, whereby the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class."
Yes. I believe so.
Indeed it had to be this way.

I think the states are now standing up to the federal government.

It's "secede" and "secession," but yeah.
The South didn’t succeed with its secession…
