Trump Says He Will Void Birthright Citizenship Law Through Executive Orderhttps://n.pr/2RmxzeF

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, under the 14th Amendment. Its first sentence: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Narrator: the constitutionality was settled in 1898.

I mean, seriously, what the fuck is the press doing? Side question... Why is the 2nd Amendment... arguably the MOST ambiguous Amendment... the ONLY one they find unambiguous?
-
The 2nd amendment isn't ambiguous. It's pretty obvious none of them are members of a well-regulated militia.
-
This post is very ambiguous but I think NPR means the Constitutional limits of Executive Orders aren't settled law.
-
Then the social media editor who crafted the tweet should be fired.
-
Agreed.

BREAKING: Future Democratic President ends the Second Amendment with an executive order: "It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't." -
@realDonaldTrump Executive Orders are NOT law!!!!#VoteBlue -
Whomever told Donny that you don’t need an Amendment to change our Constitution obviously hasn’t read the document either. Art. V lays out the process for a change to the Constitution & it sure doesn’t say the change can be made by Exec Order. Didn’t these people attend school?

Still the question is not what he can or cannot do Constitutionally; the question is who will stop him! He banned Muslims successfully. Republican Congress has shown its hand & illegitimate SCOTUS supports him
. He has his “dictator tools” in place now. @MalcolmNance - 1 more reply

This is called diverting your attention while he collects hundreds of millions at "campaign rallies" from ignorant people because he is basically broke from leveraging to the hilt.

Not at all. This whitening process is the whole plan. The Supreme Court will now endorse the fungability of the constitutional amendment, continuing the march forward.

Freedom of the press, “whose constitutionality isn’t settled”
-
Right?! WTF. There is no question about it: birthright citizenship is written into the constitution. Trump can't change that with an Executive order. Suppose the next executive order might as well be to repeal freedom of press, would they be as blase about this?
-
It’s our 14th amendment. You already don’t believe in the right to live, want to abolish our 2nd amendment, & already have been doing your best to suppress free speech, the 1st amendment. So you mean Americans shouldn’t have their constitutional birth rights but illegals should?pic.twitter.com/p6YVjLBBO0

Woah! Check your assumptions at the door, girl! Whole lot of claims without ASKING ME WHAT I ACTUALLY BELIEVE.

For real. I love NPR but they need to change this.
