— A Republican-led effort in the U.S. House of Representatives seeks to change a constitutional amendment that grants American citizenship to any child born on the nation’s soil. It doesn't require a constitutional amendment. It just requires the courts to apply the 14th amendment as written.

It doesn't require a constitutional amendment. It just requires the courts to apply the 14th amendment as written. The same courts that hold the McCain-Feingold Act to be constitutional and any reference to God or the Ten Commandments to be unconstitutional? Fat chance o' that.

The SCOTUS won'y apply almost any part of the Constitution as it is written, why should the 14th Amendment be he exception?
