He did the same thing regarding DACA, didn’t he?
If DACA is to be found in the US Constitution , then let it be now under this POTUS and his USSC
What Trump did with DACA was to undo this as an executive branch order - clearly a breach of delineated authority
The Constitution not the President defines and confers citizenship
When Roger Taney authored Dred Scott it was because he could not interpret the Constitution AS WRITTEN to confer citizenship,on slaves
Nor could he condone and legitimize Congress or individual states as having the authority to do so by writing laws
It took amending the Constitution to do so
A process and method legitimately defined by the Framers themselves
Unfortunately it also took a war by the states against federal authority ... however
If the class of US residents defined under DACA is to be decided as constitutionally enitled to citizenship then it is up to the legislative and juducial branches to make it so
Perhaps ditto with automatic birthright citizenship to those born here from noncitizen parents
Trump has sent this back to the Congress to “ fix”
Which will require the involvement of the judicial branch to,determine the cimstitutionality of any “ law” they write to do so
If the Courts cannot find them entitled to citizenship under the Constitution AS WRITTEN - or under any law written by Congress - not then it requires amending the US Constitution based on the consent of the people and their representatives
Not new “ Laws” and not “ executive orders”
A process obama - a man contemptuous of the US Constitution except when it served HIM - found unwieldy and perhaps the outcome not in his personal favor. And time to school the democrats that you dont change or rewrite the Comstitution by writing unconstitutional laws
Trump is brilliant honest and brave on this
