The Executive branch can make new policy. For instance, When Lincoln Freed the slaves, he didn't change the law. He changed the government's policy of enforcement of that law. But he did not make slavery illegal.
The Constitution is not a living, breathing document that you are trying to make it be; let us follow the letter of the law as the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution. Only Congress can make new laws, that is not the purview of the Executive Office.
This is Conservatism.
All you're doing is regurgitating nonsense from cocktail parties.
Let's use logic and reasoning here:
Has every single child of foreign diplomats been born in their embassies since the 14 amendment was passed?
No? Well whattayaknow!
Many of them were, in fact born in hospitals that were under US jurisdiction.
Did they all suddenly become US citizens the second they pooped out of the womb?
No, Well Whattayaknow!
The 14 amendment was meant to grant citizenship to former slaves, something democrats vehemently opposed.
Native Americans weren't even granted citizenship by the 14 amendment. That took passing a separate law called the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.
The media, and their liberal and RINO cronies are simply repeating another Big Lie.
Like I said...You don't know the constitution.
Have you read the 14th Amendment? Presidents do not have the authority to overturn a Constitutional Amendment by Executive Order.
Paul Ryan is not a conservative. Nice try, though!
Read the text, Glen Davis. Follow the text. Isn't that what Conservatives do? Paul Ryan does.
The 14 amendment for starters.
Which part of the Constitution do you think I do not understand?
Until the Supreme Court rules, it isn't unconstitutional, and probably not even after that.
Dirt doesn't know the constitution, either.
The way the 14th amendment breaks down as it applies to foreign nationals and their children is still being debated. There is no set law, especially in cases with both illegals and tourism births, where Chinese nationals in particular are having kids here to gain access to the system and leave the moment they are safe to travel.
I'm a US citizen because of Reagan, I will be forever grateful for that; Trump wants to end birthright citizenship. That's un-Constitutional.
