IIRC, Lamar supported an extension of Texas to the Pacific.

But keep up those maps. Smiley

Texas is going to push to the Pacific, but not California's Pacific coast, think more south.

Ah...

Another nice map, BTW.

Who was the first President of California? And how long are terms? 3 years, like in Texas?

Excellent TL, BTW. Keep it up.

Charles Fremont was the first Californian president and they serve a 3 year term and the only difference is that Texan Presidents usually serve only 3 years as Californian Presidents would serve two 3 year terms. Thanks!

I'm assuming you mean John Frémont?

Are the term limits forever, like in America (where Bill Clinton can never be President again),  or applying to continuous terms, like in the Republic of Texas (where Sam Houston was President #1 and #3).

Nitpicking, I know. Tongue

Term limits in Texas and California are forever, but the first Texan president's only ran for one 3 year term as Californian President's usually run for two 3 year terms, but they have no limit so a Texan or Californian President could run for 8 terms or something like that.

Not quite.

Article II, Section 2 of the 1836 Constitution:

"The first President elected by the people shall hold his office for the term of two years, and shall be ineligible suring the next succeeding term…"

This is a form of term limits.

I forgot to tell you that Mirabeau Lamar led a Constitutional Amendment that actually led to unlimited term limits, it was suppost to favor the Expansionist party but it had a a better effect with the Lone Star Party.

Okay, then.

I may have missed this, but what do you call the panhandle of Florida that is apparently now a state?

The name for it has always been West Florida.
