If this would happen, we'd have our own Britian/Us Colonies situation. Let's look down the road, into the nation of Texas' future. They hold an election for the King of Texas, and some of them don't like who wins. They secede even further to create another sub-nation. That's when we could make up some shit about weapons of mass destruction being hidden there, and give them some military industrial complex up the ass.
