I provided the applicable US Code citation. Decades of precedent and practice exist. Jus solis remains the law of the land. Congress and perhaps the courts will have to change it. You can rave and rant all you want. Nothing will come of it.

I support Trump issuing an Executive Order ending birthright citizenship. It will then be challenged in the courts, hopefully ending in SCOTUS. Congress is paralyzed. We need to know from SCOTUS if Congress can end birthright citizenship or must we have a Constitutional amendment. It would be better if Congress would act, but it won’t happen.

“I support Trump issuing an Executive Order ending birthright citizenship.”

He can’t if jus solis is the law of the land as you erroneously claim.

But there is no law making children born to foreign nationals(legal or illegal) on U.S. soil citizens at birth
