republic of texas

In this episode, we explore the fateful presidency of James K. Polk and the largest single expansion of American territory in the Mexican American war. In only four years Young Hickory asserted the United States manifest destiny, and achieved all of his campaign promises.

During the early 1960s, before the arrival of IBM in 1967, the entire workforce in Travis County hovered around 80,000. Today, the tech industry alone employs more than 120,000 workers in Central Texas.

You know one — the French Legation — as the “oldest house in town.” Locals and tourists love this Creole-style home that rests on a steep crest; it was built for Alphonse Dubois de Saligny, France’s chargé d’affaires to the new Republic of Texas.

You are probably familiar with the other handsome house — Boggy Creek Farm — because of its organic foodstuffs rather than its history. 

Before entering the Union in 1846, the Republic of Texas had been an independent nation for almost ten years.  The nation was almost as large in land area as the United States, and even had accumulated a sizable foreign debt due to its war with Mexico.  The debt, along with a substantial number of former American citizens with considerable political clout within the borders of Texas, eventually led to the annexation of the Republic of Texas into a position of American statehood.   To this day, the republic still has an unofficial government, in place should the rebirth of the republic ever occur.  On the other hand, the Republic of California never truly stood as an independent nation; and the republic existed, in name only, but for a few weeks.

At a pre-Memorial Day dinner hosted last night by joint American veteran associations, President Halima Ahmed startled the pro-military crowd when she proposed her plan to drastically cut defense spending and manpower over the course of the next six months.

On a date, which at one time would have marked the celebration of the 300th Anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, the National Security Force (NSF) for the Democratic Republic of Islamic American States (DRIAS) pushed back angry demonstrators attempting to gain access along the northern border wall of the District of Columbia Quarantined Neutral Zone (DCQNZ).  Armed with sledge hammers, iron rods, and paint filled balloons; the zealous followers of Abal Ismael, thought to be the most radical leader within the Alishi Mulgaric movement, repeatedly surged forward toward the border wall in an attempt to overpower the NSF defenders.  The insurgent’s ultimate goal – gain access to the restricted former “first city” and then destroy, or at least deface, all war memorials and monuments which the group consider anti-Islamic or derogatory toward the Muslim faith. .

To be honest, after the office of the Vice President, the average American citizen has no idea of the legal order of succession to fill a vacancy in the Office of President of the United States - or even where to find that order of succession? 
Under ordinary circumstances, the Constitution of the United States provides guidance for filling a vacated Presidency. Our Founding Fathers established the initial guidance for Removal, Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Power and Duties of said Office in Article I, Section 1, Paragraph 6. Constitutionally, adjustments to the document with regard to the Presidential succession process were set in place, January 1933, with the ratification of the 20th Amendment; and again, in February 1967, with the ratification of the 25th Amendment.
