Yep. Maryville native and former governor of Tennessee if I remember my history correctly.

If you can trust the latest Alamo movie it was David G. Burnet.

 

[motown vol 09]

dang my history was way off.

 

[TXA&M07]

David G. Burnet, who was appointed interim president by the Consultation that declared Texas independent on March 2, 1836, and Sam Houston, first elected president in September.

Burnet and Houston never got along btw.

Furthermore;

Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the united States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of Texas (or any other "free and independent State") from the United States. Joining the "Union" was ever and always voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option (regardless of what any self-appointed academic, media, or government "experts"—including Abraham Lincoln himself—may have ever said).


I wouldnt vote for Norris, but the possibilty may present itself.

Let's give Texas to Mexico and be done with it. Good riddance.

We would then be forced to change Texas toast to freedom toast.

only if they will take Cali also

 

[TXA&M07]

only if they will take Cali also

You dont think that if this actually happened, other states would want to follow suit?

 

[motown vol 09]

i think it would be possible a few years down the road if things continue on the path we are on.

I think we already did just like Florida went to Cuba.

The 14th Amendment is historically a very powerful tool!
I honestly find all the talk of succession amusing,laughable and nothing more than rhetoric.
