Amazing! Trump actually seems to think the U.S. Constitution gives the President the right to violate the very Constitution itself, or unilaterally amend it whenever he wants!Jesse discusses Trump's intent to do away with the 14th Amendment protection of "birthright citizenship" through the unilateral (and UNCONSTITUTIONAL) use of Executive Order. Also talked about is the history of citizenship in this country.

Trump Now Claims He Can Amend the Constitution with An Executive Order!
CITIZENSHIP ALERT!!! Trump Announces Plan to Repeal Amendment Via Executive Order!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Interesting, and i think its worth you posting a Constitutional professor's, who was also a former President, opinion on the particular topic from OP. I think his statements when he was in office may be relevant to your post?

Trump is already using the power of the purse that the Constitution exclusively gives to Congress, so why woudn't Trump be unable to do away with "birthright citizenship" in the 14th Amendment with an executive order?? Trump believes that Article 2 gives him the right to do whatever he wants as President.
