But maybe they did. You're going to have to work out if it's safe from him as it sounds like an official duty. Can he direct people, & will the Supreme Court give him a pass. I'd say it looks very soft ground, America is walking on with that since the same constitution didn’t stop his election
Of course he wants to change the constitution. He wants it to work for him being a dictator. He’s wanted to change it all along. Just couldn’t do it last time.
I think it can take anyone's citizenship. You can get the boot if you're born here or naturalized. Somehow I think the criteria will be how dark your skin is or how big your mouth is. I might be in trouble.
If he does this, he must do it legislatively. He should not attempt to change the Constitution. I would not want him to open that Pandora's Box because if he does it once, he'll want to do it again.
The big question this raises is if this only applies to families of immigrants or to the entire population…creating a system where ppl need to be ‘re-educated and pressed into Trump loyalism’ to be a citizen
He’s fucking delusional!!! Truly embarrassed that I’m an American! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ We are fucked for the next 4 years…& knowing him it will be an issue to get him out!
He has no clue how the Constitution is ‘changed’. Throw the word amended at him and you’ll get a blank stare. He probably believes if he thinks about it it will change. Just like declassification of documents.
Easy Peasy! His hynie will adjourn Congress using Art II Section 3 that says "he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;", then proceed with is recess nominations and pardoning of Jan 6 insurrectionists. He will then suspend the Constitution. Only real Patriots will have guns.😇
Good luck with that. He would need 2/3 of Congress and 75% of the states to get that done. He doesn't have that level of support, so this will fail big time!
Does he even know how to read?? Has he read the Constitution?? Does he have any idea what it takes to CHANGE the Co Constitution?! He’s full of hot air mixed with bullshit
He's got a lot of plans for that dusty old document.
No more right to free speech, privacy, voting for women or non whites, get rid of all the rules about who can be president, y'know. Modernize it like Jesus intended.
What people have to understand, is that half of the country are against this guy and if he goes ahead with his policies, it will be more than half. People have to resist, hit the streets, don't give up.
1. Actually it does, it requires a 2/3 vote in both chambers for an Amendment to be sent to the states, then it must be ratified by 3/4 of the states. This is the easiest way. The more difficult way is 2/3 of the states must call for a Constitutional Convention. Ratification still requires 3/4
I'm a PoliSci Major - '05. I'm not debating legalities. I'm simply saying that under Trump, you can rest assured they'll try to backdoor everything they can.
LOL I'll step back - I'm thinking you 2 have more knowledge in this than i do, just saying, I could see the criminal POTUS, who can't possibly swear to defend my Constitution, back-dooring everything that he can, while screaming about Presidential Immunity.
Never used to work - it's not what Founders wanted. I don't see a whole lot stopping them, however. All they need is to call some law wrong, get the Speaker to agree & it's done. (Sure there is more but this is what I remember from Obama's last term)
The article calls for ending Birthright Citizenship, that is the historical point of the 14th amendment, congress can’t vote away birthright citizenship.
Jesus, this is the state of civic understanding in this country.
He’s projecting what he wants to do. That’s the way he speaks. He never takes responsibility for any idea of his own if it might have any kind of potential consequence.
He has no idea how to change the constitution. You don’t just wave the wand and change it. All countries don’t have birthright citizenship and ended it might not be that terrible. And at the time, at the time it was put into the constitution, it seems like a good idea.
Soooooo from that day onwards, nobody born on US soil will be citizen? What a brilliant idea. I'm sure this is the start of gradual process of returning land to its proper original owners.
That part came straight out of his pie hole and I know a couple families in my community that are married to men from Mexico and have children and voted for that 🍊💩 🤦♀️
Trump must not believe what he’s saying. He will issue the executive order, but it doesn’t mean shit.
And unless the meaning of plain English has been repealed, he will need N amendment to eliminate birthright citizenship. Without it, what is are the criteria? No answer!
As a Naturalized Citizen, I am not opposed to this, assuming all people who got their citizenship through birthright (ie all Americans) immediately loose it and have to get Naturalized, which means taking the test, which many won’t pass. It would also make Trump ineligible to be President -ArtIIS1C5
I wonder how the majority of Americans will react to Trump’s considering changing the constitution and pulling out of NATO? What will it take before we hear majority of united voices saying NO against this?
I'm not certain how we can stop any of this, other than Biden putting on that crown given to him by Trump's Supreme Court and conferring with the DOJ before refusing to hand the keys to the country to that traitor.
This thing can't even change its own shitty diaper, how is it going to change the U.S. Constitution in one day? The ones to watch on these things are President Musk and President Vance. Trump is just the shiny object; they are the real dangers.
This can not be allowed. If anyone can change it, then way have anything at all. Fuck Trump! Put him in prison where his sorry ass belongs. All of those ppl under Trump and around who do nothing, must have their noses stuck so far up Trump’s ass that they cannot hear or see a thing!!!!!
He says whatever MAGA wants to hear, he failed last time and will happen again. Only issue this time, he's hell bent on seeking revenge from Biden winning and a black guy getting not 1, but 2 terms. Fun fact, Trump's been running since 2000, took 16 yrs to win. Why didn't MAGA vote for him 😂
He finally gonna deport moolania and her giant anchor baby? And moolania trump twin her daddy& mommy trump let in while trying to stop chain migration?
We couldn't achieve Equal Rights for women (and we outnumber men!) due to the 2/3 vote to ratify. Not enough women in government positions to push it thru.

*this is my standard answer to many statements about what donny can and can’t do
prez immunity for “official acts” didn’t exist until this year
invented out of nothing by a horror-SCOTUS
we have no idea what donny can & can’t do anymore
Farage?
I can't even . . .
It takes a 2/3 majority in both houses to do that.

Think it over, slowly, use small words

He can't. We can't.
I read it on the Internet.

I was in AP Civics and got an A.
I understand this process.
Jesus, this is the state of civic understanding in this country.
"Many people tell me I should sign an executive order making me President for life. We're looking into that very strongly."
I can't tell if you're quoting or not.
It’s actually quite extraordinary.
Cookoo for Cocoa Puffs.
Both are above his 4th grade reading level.
… Constitutions…
And unless the meaning of plain English has been repealed, he will need N amendment to eliminate birthright citizenship. Without it, what is are the criteria? No answer!
We can only hope there's enough honest politicians on both sides to stop him 🙏.
Oh that’s right….
::crickets::
Per usual when it comes to Tramp.
The new Sharpie amended Trump Constitution is already giving people headaches on his notepad.
