Donald Trump tries to kill birthright citizenship with executive order
"We think we have really good grounds," the president said of the order that is certain to prompt immediate legal challenges.
Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order to challenge birthright citizenship, targeting children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S.
The order argues against the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship for those born on U.S. soil.
It bars federal agencies from recognizing birthright citizenship and imposes a 30-day waiting period for enforcement.
The order is expected to face significant legal challenges, with critics calling it unconstitutional.
You're viewing a single thread.
Can't wait for the Right to recognize that if they normalize nullifying constitutional amendments with executive orders, the next Democrat president can just use that to nullify the 2nd Amendment that they're so terribly fond of.
Of course that assumes there will be another election some day.
next Democrat president
LOL. Fascism is here. There will never be another Democrat president.
Fascism is here in part because Democrat presidents aren't actually on a different team.
Trying to argue "both sides" on an article about a Republican trying to overturn the Constitution with an executive order has got to be embarrassing.
I get the impression is that in your mind there are only two teams: people who agree with you 100% and everyone else.
Nothing lasts forever.
that assumes that the Dems will actually do literally anything at all.
Yeah, if they let him start dictating constitutional amendments by executive order there definitely won't be a next election.
Expect a state of emergency. Dictators always like that trick.
The next election may come after a civil war,.but there will be a next election.
Assuming the US remains united.
I don't think that's a problem. Even if they didn't plan to begin their dictatorship now, Biden had immunity and didn't do a goddamn thing with it. Democrats don't do anything.
POTUS immunity wasn't a blanket grant of absolute power. It was just the same BS immunity that cops get for what they do as cops.
Doesn't work because the legal body is republican controlled. Only republican choices are above the law.
