Actually Congress is the one that should either confirm or rescind the born on our soil makes that child eligible for citizenship. That way the courts must remain silent on the issue as the Constitution clearly extends that authority to them. However, since the refuse to take it up, then President Trump has to force the issue by EO.

“Enlighten me, please. It does seem a bit off that he has the ability to do this through E.O..”
Why’s that? There was/is no law passed by congress granting children born to illegal aliens U.S. citizenship. I don’t even know on what authority the states are handing out U.S. birth certificates to illegals. It’s all completely lawless

“And it will set off another stand-off with the courts, as Trump’s power to do this through executive action is debatable to say the least. “
Do it anyway. It’ll drive the leftards nuts, and make them spend money.

To: servo1969
Here’s the thing: Whether or not the President has the power to change this is not the point. Because Trump said it the MSM will now have to report on it. He has now introduced the topic into the news cycle which puts it on people’s radar. He is manipulating the narrative like a media jujitsu master. Correct. The President is trolling the media.
I don't believe the President would attempt this change with just an EO. It would probably not pass court muster, even the Supreme Court with Kavanaugh. Further, the next President could overturn the EO with the stroke of a pen.
Trump is doing this to bring attention to chain migration and anchor babies, and he is doing it right prior to the midterms. If we hold onto the House and expand the GOP seats in the Senate, he will introduce this, full wall funding, and other border and immigration measures to Congress. If the new Congress turns tail and stabs the American people in the back, the President will use other means to pressure them. That's called Politics.

A constitutional amendment might be the only way, and this might be the opening bid to get one.

Yes the left will lose their minds over this HOWEVER the MAJORITY of the American people will AGREE with this and it will be one more thing to push them to the ballot boxes IN DROVES!!! Immigration IS the number one issue in this country REGARDLESS of the MSM saying it is healthcare IT IS NOT healthcare by any stretch of the imagination!!!!!

You can search by country. But, for example, the Mexican constitution specifically states that a child of a Mexican woman is a citizen of MEXICO, no matter where they are born.
