    Half serious question: can Trump order state borders to be modified? He wouldn’t be creating/destroying a state…I really don’t know the practical limits of presidential power anymore.

      He absolutely does not have the authority, nor is there anyone at the federal level to do so.

      But it doesn’t mean he won’t try anyway, or that anyone would stop him.

      (The rare occasions of a state possibly splitting have come from within the state itself)
