Amending the Constitution to remove birthright citizenship is no big deal.....

Congress passed the 26th Amendment in March 1971 (to lower the voting age).

It was promptly ratified by the states in a matter of months ..... President Richard M. Nixon signed it into law in July 1971.

Exactly a president has to sign an Amendment into law..

if the birthright fiasco needs an Constitutional; Amendment it will have to wait till Jan 20, 2017 when Pres Cruz or Trump is sworn in...

Good one Liz. And if that fails we'll have lots of conservative Supreme Court Justices... maybe they can 'find' things in the Constitution no one else has ever seen... like liberals do...
