Doesn't congress have to accept the petition?

I mean you only need like 25k signatures on that website, there's millions of people living in Texas and 25,000 shouldn't be able to decide their fate.

if the petitions hit 25k, that doesn't mean it's granted
it means some guy on the website looks at it and says no

Read the petitions and see where it is.

"Peacefully grant the State of X to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government."
And its on the Whitehouse.gov site so I'd imagine its pretty serious.

Alyx, please get your politics correct. It is not the decision of the people to secede, the petition only forces the president to consider, not to agree. We are a republic, not a democracy. Silly Goose.

Wow people are turning this petition thing into a joke
