Jaye stood up again.
"I decline and agree with the Governor and Senator over this mad proposal. This is the President's First year and your already suggesting a proposal like this? Who agrees with me!"
At this point, Jaye was ushered into his sea by Sillsman, Scotts, and the Democratic Senator of Maine behind him. However, a wave of "Agreed." went through the Senate. It was mostly Republicans and smaller parties, but some Democratic also agreed. Jaye fury-looked at Lewis.

"Governor, why are you suggesting such?"
Jaye's words, not Sillsman's echoed through the room.
"Just an amendment that allows it, if enough state legislatures approve it. Agberin isn't the most popular person and neither was President Johanson for his handling of the Plague and COVID-73, but none were removed, at least, not naturally. It should be an option."
"Mr. Lewis, my Colleague from the Freestate Party is correct. What you propose is pure madness of the highest degree. Tell me what he has done to deserve such a thing? Our economy is doing well so I see no reason to boot him from office. The only one that should have that right is the American people, not us."

The U.S Supreme Court even said the succession isn't permitted by the Constitution. You say that the plague 16 years ago was the US government's fault when it wasn't. I lost two of my little brothers and several cousins to that plague and yet I hold no grudge against this government whatsoever. People like you don't deserve to be in government of any kind. Any succession movement will just lead to a repeat of the civil war we had 229 years ago. I will see all who support succession executed if you try to rip your states from this Union. Remember what Abraham Lincoln once said: United we stand, divided we fall. USA USA USA USA USA!!!!" You can hear many of her fellow Republicans chanting along with her.
Once the chanting died down, The governor retorted "I care not what an Alabamian has to say on my status as governor of Virginia. Only Virginians have any say on my position, fortunately, and quite frankly it was the government's fault. Whose decision was it to abandon the people of the southeast? The president of the United States hid in a bunker as people died in the streets, and its any wonder the man died of a heart attack when he did. As for your threats, you would be condemning thousands to die all for the sake of a farce which died in the 2040s...the sick man of the North American continent has passed its prime".
The governor sat down again, but not before addressing the economic concerns of Mr. Lewis "Economies are such a fickle thing as the past decades have demonstrated, but I concede you have a point. Yet I don't intend to leave my countrymen (referring to Virginians) to the wolves. We would remain neutral in the affairs of loyalist states...the people want peace. I won't sentence people to die in some horrid front fighting Ohioan loyalists...there has been enough death. On that matter of economics, I wonder what might happen with the U.S dollar?".
Angela turns to the governor of Virginia with a sneer on her face, "Well my dear sir, I'm not just Alabaman, I'm an American first. You are an American as well and should act like it. You act like that fool Robert E. Lee who was a great general but a fool netherless. Remember that document called the United States Constitution that you swore an oath to protect and defend?
I might not be a resident of Virginia but those are Americans that live there and if you do try to secede, we know who to blame for the start of the Second American Civil War."
