You and I agree, but the system has allowed the birthright citizenship l
interpretation to be used throughout our system. That is why SCOTUS must be forced to rule on that clause. They never have before. Congress could pass legislation saying birthright citizenship is not our law, but unless Congress restricts scotus from overturning their law, it would end up before scotus anyway. The president is forcing this decision to happen.
I think the clause does not allow birthright citizenship to be the law.
“That is why SCOTUS must be forced to rule on that clause”
Why? The 14th is clear. Congress has not passed a law giving children born to illegal aliens U.S. citizenship.
President Trump, as chief executive, is going to follow the law and enforce the law. IOW, he doesn’t need a court to ‘interpret’ the Constitution so that he can enforce it.
