So, do you think President Trump will be able to end Birthright Citizenship without a Constitutional Amendment?

How do you think that would happen? What is the mechanism?

An Executive Order?

An Act of Congress?

Heated Rhetoric?

How would that happen?

The legal question of birthright citizenship is quite different from the political question. The real issue is dis-incentivizing illegal immigration and getting real control of the border. That requires a multi-pronged approach, and this is just one of those prongs.

The key underpinning everything, however, is simply a willingness to enforce the law. That is what has been lacking for decades by tacit agreement among members of the uniparty.
