Do it!

Can’t wait to see how many black-robed tyrants try to block it.

[puppypusher]

Mr.President.Don’t just think about it.Do it.

[jjotto]

EO that would prevent the fedgov recognizing such citizenship and forcing USSC to take up the matter. Not a bad strategy. Lines need to be drawn so the next step will be understood.

[Michael.SF.]

This would be great! Long overdue!

"subject to the jurisdiction thereof"

[birdsman]

And the next Democrat President issues an E.O. restoring birthright. I agree that it needs to be stopped. I’m just not sure that an exectutive order is the way to do it.

[oincobx]

So if citizenship isn’t granted at birth, will all children have to apply at some point?

[FreedomNotSafety]

If the mother wishes to become a citizen like the baby then she can apply for it. After the few years or more that takes she can return as a bonanfide citizen along with the little citizen. Or she can leave the little citizen here while she is at home. It her choice. They should not be forcibly separated.

She may decide that the little one should stay while she waits at home for the proper papers. I respect adoption and would greatly admire her sacrifice.

[Altura Ct.]

H*ll yes!

"And the next Democrat President issues an E.O. restoring birthright. I agree that it needs to be stopped. I’m just not sure that an exectutive order is the way to do it."

The Executive Order giveth and the Executive Order taketh. Unfortunately, the EO is just about the only tool the President has to implement his agenda given the Never Trump Congress.

[Luke21]

The pissant judges will rule from their various kingdoms that he can’t do it.

[Luke21]

You have another way to do it?

[Taxman]

JUST DO IT!

[Lurkinanloomin]

This would only apply to the children of foreigners.
As it always should have.
The authors of the 14th specifically said it did not apply to foreigners because they were subject to the jurisdiction of their own country.

In the same way that Ted Cruz claimed American citizenship (but not natural born citizen) while born in Canada to an American mother, the children of foreigners are themselves foreign nationals.

[liberalh8ter]

Oh Please, dear President. Do it!

[Track9]

End it retroactive to 20 years and issue deportation orders en mass.

[wastedyears]

The lords of their own fiefdoms.

[yoe]

It is a grand idea at least for the next 50 years i.e. letting the immigration dust settle.

[arthurus]

He will do it. It would be very nice if it could be made retroactive 60 years.

[mass55th]

"Mr.President.Don’t just think about it.Do it."

He likes to set the libs off beforehand.
