Wait i was born in the US but my ancestors were immigrants....am I not a citizen? What is a citizen?

bearcats44.bsky.social•42 days ago

That's not going to happen. You need 2/3rds of the house and Senate, plus 34 states to ratify the amendment. Check me if I'm wrong

joanofbarks.bsky.social•42 days ago

Ratify what amendment?

mtt88h.bsky.social•42 days ago

In the best possible worlds, we'd see a statement from Republicans. When Trump blatantly refuse to adhere to the Constitution—Republicans must ALSO defend the Constitution, not just the Democrats. Upholding the Constitution is not optional—it is the foundation of the republic.

bradleymoore.bsky.social•42 days ago

Before everyone panics, let's let the legal teams do their jobs first.

I'm sure Alito isn't going to be able to find a law from Arizona, passed back in 1864, to be able to approve this.

How does the pathetic POSER explain his right to citizenship when his mother entered illegally??

rprobbins.bsky.social•42 days ago

Facts,

brettspets.bsky.social•42 days ago

Well it’s in the constitution so it’s not that easy 🙄

thepaperword.bsky.social•41 days ago

So glad to see you here, fighting with us.

askme99.bsky.social•42 days ago

It's written in the Amendments, Amendment 14, it can't take it away. Only a new Amendment can. 67% vote in the Senate, 67% in the House and 38 states have to vote for it.

tinamariemn.bsky.social•42 days ago

Explain to me why a child whose parents are illegal aliens, who is born in the US should automatically be entitled to US citizenship. Before you reflexively retort “it’s in the Constitution!”(or something similar), please cite your sources.

notsodivinemsm.bsky.social•42 days ago

Are you aware that the pathetic POSER's mother entered the US illegally?

tinamariemn.bsky.social•42 days ago

Are you aware that YOU are a pathetic poser, pretending to know facts?

Even the VERY left-leaning “snopes” will inform you that Mary Anne MacLeod LEGALLY immigrated to the US.

notsodivinemsm.bsky.social•42 days ago

Unverified is very different than false.

marymredoutey.bsky.social•42 days ago

All born ...
14th Amendment
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt14-S1-1-2/ALDE_00000812/

marymredoutey.bsky.social•42 days ago

Seems like you are not familiar with the Constitution.
Trump, on day one of his term, chose to violate the oath he took to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That is not a good thing at all.

tinamariemn.bsky.social•42 days ago

Seems like you are not familiar, yourself. Have you actually read the Amendment? Do you understand the circumstances surrounding it’s drafting/adoption?

Get back to me when you catch a clue.

marymredoutey.bsky.social•42 days ago

Seems like you are wrong in your assertion again. I did in fact read the Amendment and it remains the law of the land.
Some of the history behind it:

tinamariemn.bsky.social•42 days ago

BTW, I assume you noticed that the article you cited was written in 2018. The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868.

Hmmmm. Now what historic event occurred in that period that might have prompted the 14th Amendment? Golly, I wish there was some way of researching that…

tinamariemn.bsky.social•42 days ago

You remain wrong again.

Kudos for actually doing some research. But what I was pointing to were the circumstances under which it was drafted, not the interpretation that you prefer to accept.

No worries. SCOTUS will determine the outcome.

Have a blessed day.

MAGA/MAHA

tinamariemn.bsky.social•42 days ago

He is correcting a miscarriage of the law. No other country in the world provides for a “umbilical” cord birthright. Does that not seem odd to you?

marymredoutey.bsky.social•42 days ago

"No other country in the world..."
False statement

So will Barron be shipped back to Slovenia? Jr Ivanka Erik back to Czechoslovakia?

chrissieg24.bsky.social•42 days ago

Watch this be decided by the Supreme Court. A nation of 365 million people held hostage by 9 unelected black robes. And right now, you've got, it seems, any hope subject to the whims of Roberts and Coney Barrett. That's quite the thing.

vanlinglemungo.bsky.social•42 days ago

(1) In the United States, birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Specifically, it states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States

vanlinglemungo.bsky.social•42 days ago

(2) This principle was confirmed by the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which clarified that children born in the U.S. to immigrant parents are citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status. An executive order cannot override the Constitution, even in felon world.

marymredoutey.bsky.social•40 days ago

Thanks for stating facts.

tomchilds.bsky.social•42 days ago

He is a citizen by birthright … does this mean we can deport him?

We are in the 1930s again.

teufelhunden0352.bsky.social•42 days ago

What a time to begin your congressional career! The chaos and insanity might be overwhelming at times, remember why you are doing it!

A future for all especially for them. 👏

hehebee.bsky.social•33 days ago

You all should be yelling and obstructing everything Trump does. Banging on doors, being a nuisance, getting on podcasts, news shows. Everything! You are in positions of power and you CONTINUE TO PLAY NICE! Our country is running out of time. DO MORE! DO SOMETHING!

mooglekingofspace.bsky.social•42 days ago

Actually he can't repeal the 14th amendment out his ass like that

juakar.bsky.social•42 days ago

He can’t do that it’s just bluster !

citizenw.bsky.social•42 days ago

Doesn’t this mean TRUMP is not a citizen? Isn’t his mother an illegal immigrant?

debbietg60.bsky.social•42 days ago

1. He didn’t put his hand on the Bible, so none of it counts. I think his dementia made him forget to do it. 2. So, let’s see, that means his kids have gotta go huh ? Awww shame. Say Bye #FOTUS….

insertaname.bsky.social•42 days ago

So will most of his children be shipped back to their respective countries?

rspires52.bsky.social•41 days ago

Tri-caucus Marxists.

nkeyser.bsky.social•42 days ago

There is a way to KEEP birthright citizenship AND reform immigration. AND prevent “anchor births”.

Under a merit-based system. Let’s say being born in the USA awards 50 pts.

Living in the USA awards 1 pt/yr.

Living out of the US (excluding military bases etc.) subtracts 1 pt/yr.

mirimg.bsky.social•42 days ago

He cannot eliminate a constitutional amendment with a spurious executive order.

elizturi22.bsky.social•41 days ago

You need to vote NO on the Laken Riley Act. I am one of your constituents and an Indivisible Group follower. I am tracking all your house votes. Now is not the time to help the GOP.

mlorette.bsky.social•42 days ago

he cannot arbitrarily change the constitution.

4legsrgood.bsky.social•42 days ago

He can’t take it away.

boobiewankanoobie.bsky.social•42 days ago

This will go to the Supreme Court no doubt and be held up for this criminal. He owns them.

cwilhelm24.bsky.social•42 days ago

FINALLY, congressional Democrats prepared to do more than simper about "bipartisanship."

But, with respect, Congressman Tran, he cannot take that right away, and we all must fight this evil every step of the way.

bonniel55.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oh good. Another statement condemning his actions. That helped before right? How about that EO be taken to court or perhaps Congress could…oh never mind.

mconniem.bsky.social•40 days ago

I feel bad for all those who donated their time and money to help elect you - we might as well have let the Republican win. The Laken Riley Act is terrible for all immigrants and you know it.

joanofbarks.bsky.social•42 days ago

The Supreme Court could change this ruling... though I don't know if that's enough to roll back the amendment- i wouldn't think they could do it this easily... but then they are corrupt so IDK...

lizzellw.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’d be floored to see how they manage to twist “All people born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States”

Especially since most of them tout their very strict interpretations of the constitution

joanofbarks.bsky.social•42 days ago

They've already demonstrated how quickly they will disregard established law/precedent... we have a rogue Court.
