States can not secede from the Union. That was Lincoln's rational for reforming the Union. Since states didn't have the right to leave, they had never left to begin with.

And before anyone brings it up, Texas cannot secede.

They could divide the state into as many as 5 states just to fuck with the liberal cities and the Senate though.

The only reason I see that as unlikely to happen is that all 5 would want to remain as the remaining state of Texas

They can be North Texas, West Texas, Central Texas, East Texas, and South Texas.

I like this option. I don't think it's a good option exactly, but I like it.
