Hell, Yes! Well worth a try. Of course the libturds and RINO’s will head straight to the 9th Circus Court, and get an immediate stay.
But, then POTUS can force the issue to the SCOTUS.
Let’s find out just how much of an originalist is Justice Kavanaugh...

Hasn’t it already been to the SCOTUS?

In the famous Slaughter-House cases of 1872, the Supreme Court stated that this qualifying phrase was intended to exclude “children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.” This was confirmed in 1884 in another case, Elk vs. Wilkins, when citizenship was denied to an American Indian because he “owed immediate allegiance to” his tribe and not the United States.

American Indians and their children did not become citizens until Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. There would have been no need to pass such legislation if the 14th Amendment extended citizenship to every person born in America, no matter what the circumstances of their birth, and no matter who their parents are.

Not only should Trump issue the order, it should be RETROACTIVE back several generations. It would revoke the invalid citizenship of millions of Democrats.

14th Amendment starts out pretty clearly...

Section 1. 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

“You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order,” he said. “As a conservative, I’m a believer in following the plain text of the Constitution, and I think in this case the 14th Amendment is pretty clear, and that would involve a very, very lengthy constitutional process. But where we obviously totally agree with the president is getting at the root issue here, which is unchecked illegal immigration.”

Dude! Do you effin read anything about the laws and amendments and intent behind them?

Idiot

And Mr. Plain Texter, where in that constitution does it say to fund Planned Parenthood to the tune of $500 million each year, not to mention the thousands of unconstitutional programs? Chapter and verse, if you please. Oh, you meant Selective Plain Texter. It’s what we thought.

What is Ryan or anyone going to do about it if Trump goes forward? Sure — Judges will issue decrees etc but how could they really stop Trump from doing what he wants? If Ryan stays Speaker is he going to impeach Trump for it? I doubt it. These people are all talk.

Ryan, shut your ever-unhelpful traitorous slobbering mouth. You are a traitor to your country and a total nothing. Leave NOW; why wait?

“When this goes to court, the order staying the action should be ignored.”

Without a doubt.

Now this idiot thinks he is a Constitutional scholar. This lightweight is afraid of his pro-illegal immigration wife.

The order should look back at least three or four generations. If your grandparents on both sides were illegals, then so were your each of your parents. That makes YOU illegal as well. LET ME HELP YOU PACK!

Illegal aliens were gifted citizenship by administrative fiat, no reason an Executive order can’t end it.
