Stopping birth right citizenship

Is it really possible?

I'm not sure if an executive order can really make this happen.

What do you think?

Anyone?

Kavanaugh may come in to play here as he believes in broad expansive executive powers which is part of the reason Trump picked him. Also Kavanaugh might support the president in refusing to answer questions in a criminal investigation for instance.
Ms lindseyjones, wrong blog post erase
Draegon it must be fully checked.
The proposal's timing — just a week before the midterm elections — suggests that it is intended simply to motivate his political base.
Large, yes it can be.

The point however, at least in my mind is that, to cut off encouragement for these illegal to do just that, reaping the benefits they don't deserve.
Can a President overrule the Constitution with a strike of his pen.....

Trump seems to be believe yes, and willing to see if he can get away with it. If he does it is very likely to become a major source of trouble on the long run.
I mean, Presidents will continue to come and go, but this precedent of a "Presidential strike of the pen" stopping Constitutional Rights would remain, and passed on to future Presidents.
I am certain that many of those who loudly cheer this particular idea would explode when a future president would intend to, for example, sideline their Constitutional Gun Rights by another "Presidential strike of a pen".

One can agree or disagree with the need of these Constitutional changes, to avoid deepening division your country is already in, it seems wiser to make such changes through the proper Congers/Senate channels instead of an unilaterally decided Executive Order.
Excellent point you presented on here. If however, it is possible, short cut would be the best way to accomplish such goals that accomplishes the very purpose it serves.
I agree something needs to be done while it is on the table!
Good morning Jim.
Halloween Humor: Scary news.

The DNC has been evacuated today after a suspicious package arrived.

It turned out to be a copy of our country’s Constitution - something none of them have ever seen!
I'm sure it's going to stand Sea. Executive order as a power vested in him.
Thank you Draegon.

That's the most important part, upholding the constitution.
No one is disagreeing that Senator Jacob Howard included "This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, " However, as my comrade already knows, as this was not written into the constitution so is therefore irrelevant.

People can argue until the end of time, but the fact remains if it is not written in the constitution it has no relevance.

I think that suggesting that certain clauses should or should not have been included in the constitution is heading for a slippery slope.

idea Maybe a clause that would prohibit a compulsive liar from becoming the President, can be found and also added?dunno
poor Riz has serious Comprehension-difficulties!
What he wrote is incorporated in the 14th!
"It is recorded fact that Senator Jacob Howard did write the Citizenship Clause and that he did say the statement recorded in the post above. However, Howard's intent/beliefs were not added into the text of the amendment itself and do not have any real legal power."

From the American History site
C, this man has a growing up problem. He thinks he's the only one who understands everything. NOT. Calling our president as a moron. But it doesn't bother me at all anymore. He's a joke and we need one. rolling on the floor laughing
Well, I have shown I have a better understanding of article 14 than Conrad, so what does that make him if I am a fool?
Rizla, you might have a better understanding than anyone, you have to stop belittling everyone. It makes you a beacon of truth. That's all.
actually,Riz,you haven't shown anything!
Except maybe your TDS!
I have never belittled everyone, I have pointed out factual mistakes to some people, but that is not belittling them, I have posted factually verifiable true statements, and all I get in replies are opposite opinions which are meaningless or personal comments which are also meaningless.

Your OP was whether an executive order can make it happen, and as Article 14 is written and understood the answer is a resounding NO, Trump would need a massive support from all parties in the USA Government to make such a change to the constitution, and that is virtually impossible, even less so after a couple of weeks.

The actual law as it stands is IMO wrong, it should be similar to the UK and several other countries, but Trump needs to carry it out the right way, not make political points out of it. And it should be written so as to protect those already born in the USA from foreigners. The way it was stated by Trump would actually mean many people who have lived and paid taxes for years in the USA would risk being deported or have to apply for citizenship, which is crazy.
Mic, you just made my day.

In short let's stick to what it is.

Babies who are born from ILLEGALS ARE NOT CITIZENS BASED ON OUR CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.

Yessssssssss.

Now here's what I've learned from Conrad's post. It counter balance the law that these ILLEGALS CAN'T BE PROSECUTED AND SUBJECT TO THE SAME LAW, even if they've killed all of us. What a law Mic.
I can't wait for the rebuttal Mic.

Wow John, this is great.

Mic the Perfessor of towering intellect must read this.

Let's see his response that thwarts the intention.
Why are you guys so rude to anyone who tries to bring in an impartial view, or correct complete misunderstandings?

confused
Cognitive dissonance, Biff.
no regard for our constitution is plain stupidity , but , what else do you expect from Trump ? studecar professor
Elle, yes, if only rudeness is completely eliminated, it'd be a perfect world.
Draegon, exactly. Our constitution violated and it doesn't make sense why it should serve for the benefits of those who violate it.
Republicans are split on this. Quite a few are with Speaker Ryan who says "you obviously cannot do that."
I hope it's all going to be in one solid direction.
It probably doesn't work as easily as possible.

Maybe just build the wall is a faster solution.
