President-elect Donald Trump confirmed his promise to end birthright citizenship on his first day in office despite constitutional protections.
That’s how it’s going to happen.
The supreme court is the final arbiter of what the constitution means. If they say it allows for this, then it allows for this, and there is no legal recourse.
Legal.
Except for that old American standy
“Well, we’re going to have to get a change,” Trump remarked. “We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.”
Who’ll collectively tell you to go fuck yourself.
“Well, if we can, through executive action,” Trump replied. “I was going to do it through executive action, but then we had to fix COVID first, to be honest with you. We have to end it.”
You mean, let 350,000 people die before a coherent thought came through your mind. And even then it took other people, not you, to fix it.
Someone needs to take his Sharpie away from him. He’s been sniffing it too much.
Does anyone have a non-paywall link to this article?
No need. I’ll summarize:
Trump says he’ll do something he can’t do. So in effect, nothing at all is going to happen.
Trump says he’ll do something he can’t do. So in effect, nothing at all is going to happen.
You say that as if he hasn’t already done literally dozens, if not hundreds, of things the law says he can’t do and gotten away with them all.
That’s a totally fair take but in this case he really can’t do anything at all. It’d be like standing in front of a podium and declaring that the sun is black and then stepping away. Getting rid of birthright citizenship is one of those things where everyone has to agree to do it. Otherwise it’s just an old man yelling at a cloud.
An old man with the power of the military, and a government full of bootlickers put in place to do whatever he wants. It doesn’t matter if it’s illegal if they’ve removed everyone that would stop him
Thank you for the summary. It is much appreciated 😊
President-elect Donald Trump confirmed his promise to end birthright citizenship on his first day in office despite constitutional protections.
In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC, host Kristen Welker pressed Trump on his campaign promise to do away with birthright citizenship.
“You’ve promised to end birthright citizenship on day one,” Welker noted. “Is that still your plan?”
“Yeah, absolutely,” Trump insisted.
“The 14th Amendment, though, says that, quote, all persons born in the United States are citizens,” Welker pointed out. “Can you get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action?”
“Well, we’re going to have to get a change,” Trump remarked. “We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.”
“Through an executive action?” the NBC host asked.
“Well, if we can, through executive action,” Trump replied. “I was going to do it through executive action, but then we had to fix COVID first, to be honest with you. We have to end it.”
I’m glad he fixed COVID.
