Trump Can End Birthright Citizenship

Original Article

Posted By: Daniel R Street, 12/17/2024 10:26:44 AM

President-elect Donald Trump has once again promised to “end birthright citizenship” for the U.S.-born children of illegal and nonimmigrant aliens. But can he do this without amending the Constitution? Yes, he can—at least according to the original meaning of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause, which, as I explained at great length in an earlier law review article and a pair of Heritage Foundation Legal Memos, is far different from the interpretation offered by most modern scholars.

President Trump should not waste political capital on this especially in the first 2 years of his second term.

I certainly hope so. This is a disastrous policy, wrongheaded and destructive.

No #1, President Trump should end birthright citizenship immediately. This ridiculous game has gone on much too long and should be stopped permanently. His political capital is entirely from MAGA and cannot be found anywhere within leftist, Democrat, or RINO beliefs.

It'll be a lengthy court battle but I hope he does. But actually more important is ending the count of illegals to apportion US House congressional seats. The number of Congressional House seats should have NEVER been determined by the raw number of bodies in a given state but only those who are legal residents/citizens.

Sure he can, get rid of all illegal aliens and they won't be having any births here.

If so, I truly hope he does. It is a terrible thing for America--a magnet for opportunists.

Do it, President Trump. The current interpretation of these laws should have been challenged a long time ago. And with the Court you gave us, the time has never been more ripe.

Take a page from the 2000 election. Take it directly to the Supremes for an accurate ruling on what the Constitution says.

Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of True the Vote (TTV) believe they have the goods to prove that “Trump was right” about the 2020 election in Georgia. Their work concerning the state’s voter rolls allegedly proves that at the time of Raffenperger’s Nov. 20, 2020 certification, there were, according to Engelbrecht, “364,000 ineligible voter records,” of which approximately 67,000 actually voted in the 2020 election. UncoverDC spent some time this week talking with Engelbrecht about TTV’s investigation of Georgia’s voter rolls.

During our year with Mike Lindell, the Fractal team went from never having seen an election roll to running the largest election database ever created, with over 1.7 billion records — for 12 states alone. With only 165 million or so voters in the United States, why such a large database? Data travel, data move, data tell a story as they traverse different databases — over time. Let's take an example. Phineas Phrogg, our made up character, is on a voter roll. Phineas owns a home, has three credit cards, two cars, does limited social media, is a deacon at his church and active in the Lions Club.

“2022 saw a lot of shareholder wealth destruction for Tesla,” the conversation began on CNBC last week, with added emphasis to get the point across. “It’s hard to say if it could go any further down; it’s been a horrible season for Tesla,” the analyst pointed out with an extra dose of intensity. Many have pointed out that the reporting on the company in recent months has increased both in its fervor and in its negativity. In fact, some think the media at large has seemed breathlessly gleeful, almost gloating about the recent decline of their once-prized Tesla.

Senate Democrats proposed a constitutional amendment on Dec. 16 that would abolish the Electoral College and ensure the country’s presidential elections were determined by the popular vote. “It is time to retire this 18th-century invention that disenfranchises millions of Americans,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a press release. He and Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) proposed the legislation after another proposal emerged in the House last week.

Michelle Obama appeared on the Jennifer Hudson Show wearing a skirt that resembled a trash bag and slouchy over-the-knee boots. “The former first lady sat down with Hudson for a conversation that touched on the holiday season, her new book “Overcoming: A Workbook” and the Netflix series “The Later Daters,” which she and Barack Obama helped produce through their company Higher Ground. For the daytime talk show interview, Obama wore an asymmetrical black dress from Bottega Veneta in a leather-like material underneath a blazer which brought a business energy to the look and introduced a taupe hue,”

President Joe Biden appears to be struggling with the prospect of retiring from public life, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday. After Democrats ousted him as their presidential candidate in July, Biden, 82, who has been a public official since 1973 (51 years), is not enjoying the prospects of sunsetting his over half a century long career at the center of American politics, the NYT’s Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs reported. Biden reportedly told allies after he dropped out of the race that he was bored, moody, and angry. He’s apparently angry because many Democrats opposed his pardon of his son.

During COVID, government employees across the country were able to begin working from home and now, years later, they don’t want to give that up. Trump wants to put an end to this. He expects people to actually show up to their offices to do their jobs. Can you imagine that? Trump is serious about this too, and wants to fire employees who won’t return to working in-person. He absolutely should. if these people don’t need to show up for work, what are taxpayers paying them for? The Washington Times reports:

On Monday, during his hosting duties on CNN’s “Newsroom,” Jim Acosta called on media outlets to “stand firm” against President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts to use the legal system to hold the press accountable. Acosta told CNN contributor Brian Stelter the media should not have to worry “about this sort of stuff.” “I just wonder, Brian, what this is going to mean for news organizations, for tech companies?” Acosta said. “We’re going to talk about the implications for tech companies in a moment, but it seems to me that there’s a lot of this bending the knee going on.

For years, conservatives have been vilified as “conspiracy theorists” for claiming the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from President Trump. The mainstream media and liberal pundits mocked anyone who questioned the outcome, dismissing them as dangerous extremists or delusional crackpots. Now, the tide has turned, and the hypocrisy is glaringly obvious as liberals peddle their own wild predictions. Enter USAF veteran and vocal leftist Jerry Doran, who has taken to social media to allege that President Trump will be arrested on December 20th under Executive Order 13848.

James O’Keefe dropped an undercover video on Monday in which one of President Joe Biden's National Security Council advisors explains that the cognitively declining president is far worse off than the public knows.The video should not be shocking — given the countless number of times we've seen Biden's brain malfunction, the confused president shake hands with the air or wander around aimless on a stage after he finishes speaking, and other clear signs that his dementia is rapidly progressing — but it is. National Security Council (NSC) advisor Henry Appel spoke frankly about the current state of Biden's deteriorating state, unaware that he was being filmed.

Stephanopoulos, a former aide to Bill Clinton in the 1990s, was particularly incensed at being compelled to issue a public apology, according to the New York Post. Insiders explained how the veteran anchor remains 'defiant' amid the fallout.

It’s been nearly two weeks since UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in midtown Manhattan. Thankfully, his alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured after someone recognized him at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa. While the evidence all appears to confirm Mangione is the killer, in a lot of ways, it just doesn’t make sense why this kid, who grew up privileged and went to an Ivy League school and everything, would be driven to murder. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has something to say on that issue that the Democrats won’t be happy about. Adams bluntly described a disturbing trend he’s witnessed among young people
