Suppose you are correct about the meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction of”? (I don’t think you are right, but for the moment, stipulate that you are).

How do you see this playing out so that citizenship can be denied to anchor babies?

I mean, the courts won’t agree, Congress will not enact legislation and if they do, it will be ruled unconstitutional.

Don’t you think it would be simpler, easier, and more effective to amend the Constitution? It is the interests of the States and the People that are at issue here, the ruling elites are all in for illegal immigration.

I think I heard someone (Levin) suggest that the 14th amendment just be “removed” as it no longer applies to anyone. (Was for slaves only)

I disagree on all three points.

We have seen the courts support Administration initiatives through some pretty tortured reasoning.

I sincerely doubt congress could withstand a "Megyn Kelly" backlash from the voters on a new President's signature issue.

And finally, I would not put it past Trump to pull an FDR on an intransigent SCOTUS.

All of the above. We need to approach it at every angle. Then if not successful, do it again. That’s what the liberals do.
