The precedent basically already exists thanks to Aaron Burr. He was the Vice President at one point, but he betrayed the nation and tried to steal Texas, then was outlawed here and fled to Europe.

How did he plan on bringing TX with him to Europe? There'd be an extra baggage charge on the plane for that!

Remember that godawful Will Smith version of Wild Wild West? It was exactly like that, except without the giant mechanical spider. That's what Aaron Burr actually planned to do, steal Texas with a militia and a legal loophole, then sell it off to the enemies of the United States.

Huh, in school history was nothing but the 13 original colonies and a few other wars. Never heard about this. Might have to read about this sometime

Lets be realistic. This happened 100 years before planes were invented.

I'm sorry but realism doesn't allow for stealing TX and bringing it to Europe

We need Looney tunes music for that, probably Daffy Duck moreso than Bugs Bunny
