I think everyone focused on birth tourism is missing the fucking point. If being born in the US is no longer a necessary and sufficient qualification for citizenship, how does the child of two lawful citizens born on US soil become a citizen? Before you come at me with “it’s obvious” ask yourself which children the Trump admin or future GOP leaders would come after next and ask yourself, really fucking ask yourself, if it’s still obvious.

I believe it's very obvious, but we won't like the answer.

Since when can an executive order nullify a Constitutional Amendment??

Seem like a pretty open shut case to me...

Lets see how they find a way for Trump to get his way.

Trump does realize that his son Baron would get deported if this passes ... right? The question is, deported to where? If you were born in the USA you will not have citizenship anywhere else.
