Remove Texas, excepting Austin, from the Union; should a Constitutionally viable and peaceful method be found.

The people of the Union are simply tired of hearing about how Texas could be its own country. It's like listening to that negative co-worker who keeps complaining about how things are going. You know, the one who also keeps saying he's going to quit and start his own business, but he never does. Then when he is fired, because he never really did anything but complain, the mood lightens up and everyone's happier and more work gets done. Well, let's fire Texas. It'll improve the national mood and then maybe we could get some work done in Congress.
