I find it interesting to see how countries have organised their government and judicial systems. And it should be basic knowledge at least how your own country works. That and history, both the good and bad side.
I think his plan is to issue an executive action and then think the SCOTUS will find a way to say it constitutional. They seemed to do that whenever it's the extreme right interests. Have the not done that all ready on other rights.
Those saying he can't do it, citing how to amend the constitution seem to forget constitutional review.
Sure it calls it out in the 14th amendment, but the SCOTUS could easily decide that it doesn't apply to children of undocumented parents. If he does an EO, it will be wild to see what happens.
Oh he fixed all right! A couple hundred thousand people died who shouldn't have. Then when he gets COVID king Donald gets all the best medicine in the land.
He will sign a worthless executive order and 2/3 of his followers will believe he actually ended birthright citizenship. Then the media will keep writing about his plans and normalizing all these quotes as if any of it can actually be done.
If you take this idea to it's logical conclusion, None of us have birthright citizenship if we go back far enough in our family trees. Unless you are 100% native American, you are an immigrant or a child of immigrants.
The raw meanness and stupidity of agent Orange makes me want to puke.
I would like to see an end to birth right citizenship as the Russian mafia flies their women into US to have their babies. But letting republicans change the constitution is not something I would trust them with
The earths biosphere is dying and we are going with it. What’s being decided now is who are the first people to leave. One day this is coming for us all one way or another.
setting aside for the moment the merits of changing this Constitutional provision to only apply to the sons and daughters of US citizens, this is how hard the process of changing it is. We will have to dive into this document more often. Take note Article 5 https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/full-text
Trump will find out how hard it is to change the constitution. Ending birthright citizenship will require one of two thing - the long tedious process of getting 3/4 of states to adopt a Constitutional Amendment or getting SCOTYS to interpret birthright citizenship so narrowly as to void it.
Trump has ZERO authority to change the Constitution. His lackeys on the Supreme Court did not give any president freedom to do so. Being married to, or bon of an American citizen is NOT a national security issue. He will have to send his wife and her parents home.
This isn't going to happen and I'm not hearing any other non-deep MAGA discussion or support for this. We'll see but this is a very big thing that most Americans enjoy. Stuff like this is going to ensure Congress is all blue after the 2026 midterms.
STOP reporting garbage he says. He is TROLLING for attention.
NOBODY is going to "change" the US Constitution so that a bigot can deport whomever he hates. We know that. He knows that.
He thinks he can change the Constitution by, what, telepathy? Just because he wants to? Taking that Sharpie to it? He's so goddamned horrid and stupid that he's an embarrassment.
I'm glad to hear this news. Ist term Trump proved he could make big trouble but not really get anything done. 2nd term Trump is shaping up to being even more inept -- though possibly more troublesome.
Has anyone done a FOIA for a certain Slovenian’s tourist visa application? Compared to statements by said Slovenian she came her to work and indeed did work on a tourist Visa- seems a bit fishy- we don’t know, just asking questions.
Trump had two years with a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and a Conservative majority on the Supreme Court, that was all before COVID hit. He still couldn't get anything done.
But he's an old man with long COVID so maybe he just can't remember back then.
And you didn’t even fix Covid, chump. You said it would go away in a few weeks and there’d be zero deaths. You killed 40% more people than if adults were actually in charge. You made states fight for PPE. You “expedited” the vaccine but lied about it, then all of your supporters were unvaxxed & died
Which again makes me question where he got all those votes in November.
I still 100% believe he cheated somehow with Elonia. Half the voting public could not be so racist or misogynistic or lawless or stupid to vote thet pile of treasonous orange dung back into office.

In case anyone needs reminding.
You should be charged with crimes against humanity for your pitiful response!

Trump has never been honest in his life.
At all.
He made it incredibly worse.

Maybe it's time to just change the name to the United States of Trump. 😔🇺🇸😔

And if we can “get around” this constitutionally protected right, why shouldn’t we start with the amendment that actually is causing harm?
Reversing an amendment to the US Constitution requires an amendment.
2/3 of the chamber’s in the house and senate must agree, and 3/4 of the state’s are required to ratify.
Not going to happen.
What a Joke!
This man KILLED over 1,000,000 with his psychotic machinations !!!
He deserves the Death Penalty !!!!!!
