It will probably get tied up in the courts.

It won't. He would need a new constitutional amendment. Either that, or he will go through the courts and challenge the Wong Kim Ak decision.

Ending birthright citizenship​

Trump has also promised to end birthright citizenship on Day 1 of his presidency ‒ and will do so through executive action "if we can" ‒ likely setting up a constitutional legal fight.

Birthright citizenship refers to anyone born in the U.S. being considering a U.S. citizen based on the 14th Amendment, which says "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

If he decides he can't end birthright citizenship through executive action because of constitutional constraints, Trump would seemingly have to pursue an amendment to the Constitution, which would require support from two-thirds of Congress and ratification from three-fourths of state legislatures.

this aint ever happening.

Executive orders are issued from the executive branch of the government, specifically the U.S. President. An executive order is not a law in the sense that it does not go through the legislative process. It is not binding on everyone, only on employees of the executive branch.

This. If he can eliminate birthright citizenship through executive order, he can re-write any part of the Constitution at whim.

Let MAGA know if this precedent stands the next Dem president can re-interpret the 2nd amendment via executive order.

It's not because you open a can of worms, not to mention half the people in power were birthed from immigrants or are married to one.
