You can't secede. There's no legal mechanism.

This is silly. You don't necessarily need a legal mechanism to secede. At some point in the future, the united states of america will no longer exist, just like every other empire. That could happen 15 years from now or 1500, regardless of what legal mechanisms are in place.

Sure. You could be nuked back to feudalism by the Chinese.

But that's not seceding. Texas won't exist for the same reason the United States won't.

Yeah I agree, a Chinese takeover over would be great.
