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?

    It’s not possible legally or Constitutionally; it’s possible in that they can secede by amending the Constitution, or by winning a war of secession, but that’s it. They can’t leave and they can’t be kicked out.

    Though they could be divided into or amongst other, smaller States.

      Technically winning a war of secession would have to end with an amendment to the constitution too, unless it ended with the eradication of “the USA”
