All that is needed is a bill passed by congress and signed into law by the President. Text of law: “Childern born in America to a (certain class) are not citizens.” It works same way as current law for foreign diplomats, just fill in ‘certain class’ with ‘illegal aliens, foreign nations legally visiting etc’. The 14a doesn’t need to be touched.
EXACTLY!
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
Many people are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and of the State wherein they reside yet are NOT citizens. . . so ergo just being born here does not make one a citizen. The people who claim so are ignoring the inclusive clause of "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof", which does not include resident or non-resident aliens per the author of the Amendment.
Actually, it doesn't even require that. The law is currently being flouted by the Executive Branch (the Department of State) in that it is ignoring the actually wording of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. If this were not so, why would there be a need of a qualifying clause obviously intended to limit the sweeping nature of the previous clause in that sentence? Since it did not specify who was excluded, it must include only those that are included, those NATURAL Citizens already born there of current citizens who can confer citizenship and those who become legally Naturalized Citizens, no one else.
The Anchor Baby fait accompli was a decision of some nameless bureaucratic nobodies in the State Department that has had countless expensive policy and societal repercussions down through many years. . . a decision that whoever it was that made it had no power and no authority under law to make, but did anyway and NO ONE CHALLENGED IT!
All it would actually take is an Executive Order from the President of the United States for employees of the State Department to follow the 14th Amendment AS WRITTEN and apply the law as written. . . and that children born to persons within the borders of the United States who are not subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, meaning who do not owe allegiance to The United States of America, are not automatically citizens of the United States of America and would be natural and regular citizens or subjects of the nation to which their parents own allegiance.
To become citizens of the United States of America, they would have to apply for naturalized status. That Executive Order should further provide an instruction to Congress that such children who were born here and assumed to be citizens, educated here, and have lived in the US for all of their lives, should be fast-tracked for naturalization, as should their children. . . however, that most certainly is the province of Congress and a new law to handle, not an executive order.
