I’m pretty confident that Texas wouldn’t be able to legally secede, but can you identify where it’s written that Texas cannot secede?

Edit: "When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation," Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase wrote in that decision. "The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States."

So it appears the only way Texas could legally secede would be through permission from the States. So yes, Texas could secede with permission, but not unilaterally. Also, the last Supreme Court case about this was in 1868 so it’s always possible to get a modern day ruling. Not saying it will go anywhere.

Reminder: half the states vote red (more if you get fair elections) so it would be possible to get red states to approve it by simple majority depending on what “consent of the states” means.

People always say no but then never pinpoint where it’s written.
