Texas Bill for a Vote on Secession

Posted on by February 13, 2021

Texas Representative Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg) has introduced HB 1359, which would put the question of secession from the United States on the November 2021 ballot. Here is the text. So far the bill has made no headway, although it has been endorsed by the state chair of the Republican Party.

  5. It’s worth noting that the state chair of the Texas GOP is none other than 1-term Congressman Allen West of FLORIDA. I doubt that the endorsement and push for secession has anything to do with a sense of Texas “patriotism”.

  6. Instead of Secession why doesn’t Texas exercise it’s right to split into as many as 5 different States?

    Many people including former Texas Governor Ric Perry mistakenly believe that when Texas joined the Union in 1845 it was allowed the ability to secede later on if it chose to.

    What that agreement in 1845 actually said was that since Texas was so large it could choose to divide into new States. With 5 being the maximum number.

    It would provide Republicans with a solid majority in the Senate even if Puerto Rico and D.C. achieve Statehood.

    major machinations for many years

    President Polk signed the legislation making the former Lone Star Republic a state of the Union on December 29, 1845 (Joint Resolution for the admission of the state of Texas into the Union, J.Res. 1, enacted December 29, 1845, 9 Stat. 108).[190] Texas formally relinquished its sovereignty to the United States on February 19, 1846.[191]

    One more gerrymander regime added.

  10. Demo Rep: That is very strange. I first heard about that in my Junior High US History class and in my High School US History class. That was in Ventura California in the 1970s. I have also seen it mentioned in several books and magazine articles that I have read over the years.

  11. That explains it. The March 1st 1845 Joint Resolution for the Annexation of Texas that passed both Houses of Congress had the provision to split Texas into more States while the December 29th 1845 Resolution for the Annexation of Texas did not. One would think that the December 29th document is the final word but maybe not. At least now I know where the idea came from.

  12. While Stock was wasting company time on bogus trivia, customers left after not receiving any response for assistance, the elevator got stuck with people trapped inside as their calls for help were ignored, and the phone rang off the hook for hours without any answer.

  13. When a sovereign Republic enters a union of states, its right to exit that union is implicit. See: brexit; 9th and 10th amendments, US constitution. The war of Yankee aggression didn’t settle anything, and if at first you don’t secede try and try again.

    Texas Constitution of 1845

    ARTICLE I Bill of Rights

    SEC. 1. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit; and they have at all times the unalienable right to alter, reform, or abolish their form of government, in such manner as they may think expedient.

  26. If any state could secede unilaterally, then Texas’ original Act of Secession in 1861 must still be valid.

  28. The 1861 act isn’t valid because the reconstruction government of Texas successfully applied for readmission. But how could they be readmitted if they couldn’t secede to start with?

  31. More and better PERMANENT censoring of TROLL MORONS and their pre-skoool moron posts on a PRIVATE website involved in REAL election stuff.

    TROLL MORONS can pay for their own moron websites and post all they want – for the world to ignore.

  32. Texas v W-h-i-t-e, 74 U.S. (7 Wall.) 700 (1869)

    Regime suppressed secession by major force —

    Civil War Union cost paid off in 1916-1917 ???

    just before WW I in Apr 1917 ???

    ConFed creditors – got paper- NO real cash.

  33. WHAT PERCENT OF TEXAS MEN ON 1860 ELECTION DAY SURVIVED TO SEE TEXAS REGIME REBORN IN 1870 ???

    Various Civil War shows have Texas Confed regiments wiped out often – 50-80 pct doom rates–

  38. At least RETARD Demo Rep isn’t talking about eating pets like he normally does.

  41. How many troll MORONS on the BAN purge list ???

    — like the last mere 7 troll moron posts.

  43. @WZ

    Texas v Whit uses specious reasoning.

    The AOC claimed it created a perpetual Union. The preamble of the 1787 Con says that it created a more perfect Union. A more perfect perpetual Union is indivible.

  44. 9 AND LATER 2 OF 13 STATES SECEDED FROM THE 1777 ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION.

    LAST 2 [RI AND NC) LEFT IN 1789-1790 AFTER 1787 USA CONST REGIME GOT GOING.

    SPECIAL VT REPUBLIC 1777-1791 – STATE 14 IN 1791.

  47. @ JR:

    For better or worse, Texas v Whit is the only available precedent on the matter of secession.

  48. The garbage comments on February 16, 2021 at 2:20 am and on February 16, 2021 at 3:42 am are from Cody Quirk.

  49. If Texas secedes I will move back to Texas. I wish they could do a vote for those born and raised in Texas could vote regardless of where they are living now! My husband Is a republican but from California. He didn’t want to live in Texas and I didn’t want to live in California so we bought a house in Arizona. Hubby said if they do secede we can move to Texas!

  51. I’m all for Texas seceding as long as Florida does too, along with Georgia, and hopefully other Confederate States.

  52. It’s time for the real reparations, for all of us whose ancestors had our property stolen by the damn Yankees in 1865.
