Texas Petition to Secede 60k sign Petition
 

I heard on the news this morning that due to the number of signers Obama will have to respond.

My question is who has the power to make these decisions?

Not likely to happen. Has to go through the Legislature surely, wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Maybe a march on Washington will happen.

:dogpatI agree. But the news said due to the number of signatures Obama would have to respond. I would not think the president has that power alone to make that decision.

22 other states have also petition for secession with LA being the first.

Haven't heard anything on that.

No, the President doesn't have power alone in that.

Who do they petition? Congress?

The signers are looney.
If they were to seriously secede, do they really think they would fare better separately than together?

Idiots.

Yes anyone who would honestly sign a petition to have their individual state leave the United States of America is an idiot and a moron.

If they don't like it here, they can buy themselves a one-way ticket to Australia, Norway or wherever they think they would have it better!
