Wish him all the luck. But an amendment to the Constitution is the only way around birth right citizenship.”””
I do NOT think an amendment is necessary.
The 14th Amendment has been bastardized with wrong interpretations for many years.
The 14th Amendment was meant to make children of slaves USA citizens. It was passed & ratified after the Civil War , in the 1800’s. It is NOT a new law. Look at the exact wording & the events of the time in which it was passed and see what the 14th is meant to be doing.
It NEVER was meant for invaders to this country to whelp their kid on USA soil & grant that baby automatic citizenship.
It was wrong the first time it happened, and it has been even MORE wrong ever since.
wrong. The XIV Amendment was passed to make citizens of about 4.2 million ex slaves. This was seen as the only realistic way around the Dred Scott decision. That SCOTUS decision stated that there was no way that a slave or an ex slave could become a citizen of the United States.
What it’s intent was in immaterial, the court looks at what is written. What is written seems to support birth right citizenship. Not my interpretation, the courts over the last 100 years or so.
The court should take a look at the issue of “jurisdiction of the United States”. That may be a way to nullify the birth right clause of the amendment.
