About that constitutional birthright citizenship: Wrong again

Our Constitution will survive this "bump" in the road of democracy. It's unfortunate that we have to experience this, but at least it shows (so far) that our Constitution can stand up to whatever is thrown at it.

We have one such in our country who takes decisions without even consulting the parliament.

You are correct, many countries around the world grant the "ius soli", the right of citizenship to those born in the country, the correct number of countries with unrestricted ius soli is 35. Many other countries have conditions (at least one parents born in the country, or a minimum of years the parents stayed in the country). He knows nothing.

I am so glad, too. It's such a shame we have to deal with such an idiot.

Trump knows he can't do it. He is saying it just to try to fire up his deranged cult members against immigrants. That's what they live for. It is another stunt. . . just like his failed "tax cut for the middle class" that no one believed. Kellyanne Conway's husband joined with a liberal pundit to write an opinion piece flat-out stating that Trump can't revoke birthright citizenship today. Interestingly, Kellyanne also removed "counselor to the president" as her description on her Twitter profile today. People are wondering if she quit, was fired, or if she is just laying low (as if we would forget who she is or what she has done).

What if we actually let the president of this term do his thing. though they may seem unorthodox and see how the usa turns out i mean as long as its not genocide.

I assumed he was wrong and had not done any research and just spoke off the top of his head as usual. He should let experts tell him what to say so he does not look foolish.

Whoa! Such an idiot. I hope he doesn't get elected again. OMG. Such a mess he is making.

Lets hope they can sort all of that problem out. I don´t know anything about it but it seems like it needs to be put right very soon.

He talks without thinking but it riles up his people and that is what he wants.

And how many stories have there not been about babies born while flying over a country who then says they are the babies homeland. When the US was still considered a top country which unfortunately has diminished for some due to Trump my godfather's son who was born and raised in the US flew his wife over from Riga, Latvia where the family lives when she gave birth to his children just so they could be US citizens.

I guess I thought every country would consider you a citizen if born there.

President Trump reminds me of President Lex Luthor in the cartoon movie "Superman and Batman: Public Enemies" which Lex passed a law that all super heroes had to do his bidding.

Trump needs to checkout his staffing rosta at his hotels.

technically, the constitution gives him "executive order" rights when a president feels theres a need to. the constituion also says you can only be a citizen if born in the country, american soil, to american(s). or if your born to an american(s) parent on foreign soil. 14th amendment. this is interesting though, because, if he does executive order the birth right issue. no doubt it will go to the supreme court and they will be making a ruling, if they choose to hear the case, as to what constitutes birth right citizenship.

Yes!! Use of executive orders can't override the normal and essential political processes!!! What do U think about birth right citizenship!!!??
