Random notes after reading through this thread again this morning:
The business about dividing into 5 states is part of the Ordinance of Annexation, and in not, as far as I know, in the Texas state constitution. However, I haven't read all 800 pages of the constitution. Every political party in Mexico hsd a platform plank advocating the return of Texas to Mexico at one time. Maybe they still do. The Texas legislature expressed their feelings about the gov's remarks by deleting his operating budget for the next two years. That should save us some on taxes. The Washington Post reports that the U.S. State Department published list of the foreign countries visited by Secretary Clinton this year. Texas is on the list.
