lindsyjones: Can an executive order really make it possible?
It's going to be a very interesting change if it's even possible.
I don't know if it is possible but I would certainly back it as too many people just take advantage of lax laws ,,,It's going to be a very interesting change if it's even possible.

As I have explained in your blog, the answer is no, no matter how much you want to give Trump the power to rewrite the US constitution at his whim.
If you dont believe me, this article was written in Febuary 2017 So this question has come up before
Contrary to certain internet rumors, President Donald Trump hasn't altered the U.S. Constitution. Yet. But could he if he wanted to?
Trump has proposed constitutional amendments in the past and it's no secret that there are provisions in our nation's founding documents with which our new president disagrees. So the question with President Trump is not so much whether he would like to change the Constitution, but whether he can.
By Himself
No president can unilaterally alter, rewrite, or amend the Constitution. What presidents, as the head of the executive branch, are able to do is direct how laws pertaining to constitutional rights are to be enforced, via executive orders. For example, former President Barack Obama couldn't rewrite the Second Amendment, but he could take executive action on firearm licensing requirements and background checks for gun purchases.
Yet even executive orders have constitutional limits, as President Trump has learned. Presidents, and the executive branch, must still comply with the Constitution, and therefore can't change it by themselves.
Through Congress
Right now Republicans control both the House and the Senate, so Trump could pressure Congress to propose and pass constitutional amendments. But even that isn't a slam dunk. Trump would need two-thirds of both the House and the Senate to approve a constitutional amendment. And even with the largest Republican majority since the 1930s (54 out of 100 Senators and 247 out of 435 Representatives), the GOP still probably lacks the numbers to push a constitutional amendment through.
Even if Congress approved an amendment, 75 percent of the states would need to ratify it. Trump won 30 of the 50 states in the 2016 election, or 60 percent.

I agree. I can see that as a good change. But as part of the amendment in our constitution, can an executive order really make it stopped?------ This thread is Archived ------

Galrads, if an executive order can possibly over ride any of that, I'm sure he's going to do it. I'm looking at opposition if there's any.------ This thread is Archived ------

Sir_T: How many times can you be told "no?"
Ok, do you really want to give, say, President Hillary Clinton the power to stop the second amendment whenever she wants? Yes, its the same question.

If Graham is going to propose legislation to amend the Constitution, his bill would need to win over not only two-thirds majorities in Congress, but also be ratified by three-quarters of the states.
Good luck with that.
And as I said on your blog, if you think Alito would override stuff the founders said in black and white, you are out of your tiny mind.

your president seems to be talking sense all the way even though so many disagree ,but what he's doing is simply right ..------ This thread is Archived ------
Conrad73: CowDung!
You shouldn't talk about yourself and your arguments like that. 
You are a child of God and deserve more respect.Anyway, Its pretty likely thinking about it that SCOTUS would simply deny cert and ignore it rather than get involved.
