Texas Can Legally Do Something No Other State Can
Summary
This video from CGP Grey discusses the legal and historical aspects of Texas's potential secession from the United States. It explains that while Texas might seem to have some unique options for independence, such as dividing into multiple states, it cannot legally secede from the Union based on current constitutional interpretations, including rulings by the Supreme Court. The idea is presented in an engaging yet factual manner, but the title might edge towards clickbait as it doesn't involve any actual discussion of Texas seceding.
