Is there a protocol for expelling a state from the Union?

For fuck's sake, give Texas back to Mexico! We can keep a round 50 states by granting Puerto Rico statehood.

Texas wanted to secede ages ago whatever happened with that?

We shoulda let them, honestly. Republicans would never win another election, and their economy would crash without all the welfare they get from the federal government funded primarily by California and New York taxpayers...

Sure, it would suck for all the minorities in Texas. But maybe just create a program to help people relocate to a different state?

This would actually be crazy fun to watch unfold.

No. We settled that shit in 1865.

So now they're going to bring the whole country down with them, while collecting tax money from the coastal states and New England?

Pass...
