I don’t think I’ve seen even one ‘Rat weigh in against this idea.
And why should they?
They have all the RINO’s moaning and groaning for them.
“I am not a lawyer but it seems to me it would take a constitutional amendment to change that as opposed to an executive order,” Grassley, the Republican chairman of the Judiciary Committee told Iowa’s CBS2.

Sit down and take a nap, old man. Time for the fighters to take over and get something done.
He can keep this issue out there by doing this.
No wonder the country is a mess with GOP “leadership” like that. Of COURSE a President can interpret a Constitutional amendment....which will be challenged in federal court, and either upheld, or reinterpreted.
The status of illegal aliens kids born here, as far as I know, not been tested in court—only that of legal residents.
How do either of these guys know if it can’t be done? They haven’t tried it. They have to be dragged kicking and whining to the table when ever anything is to be done.
It’s a matter of interpreting the citizenship clause of 14th amendment and it’s about time it was sorted out by the courts frankly.
What would that be you jackass? DACA?.........
What?
Absolutely not a Constitutional Amendment
No.
It may require legislation, but the Constitution says NOTHING about birthright citizenship that I know of. (called “Jus soli”, and only we and Canada have it among developed countries)
Am I wrong on this?
Not lawyers. They should shut up.
Take it to the Court.
Take it to the Court.
But you can do it by judicial fiat, which is how it happened in the first place.
We all know Puke Ryan is useless but why is Chuck Grassely weighing in? A pretty reporter-ette asked him?
All I gotta say is zip your lips! Is this too much to ask? What is it with these chatty Cathy doll Republicans?
our elected idiots need to do some studying. the author of the 14th even said it does NOT apply the way it’s being applied.
dumbasses.
From my proposed Constitutional Amendment as part of my Immigration Reform plan on my home page here:
SECTION 3. The first sentence of SECTION 1 of Amendment XIV is hereby repealed.
SECTION 4. Henceforth, every child born in the USA after ratification shall be born with the citizenship of their mother as of 320 days prior to birth.
SECTION 5. No person may be granted US citizenship unless the person is over age 22 and proves US residence in at least 54 of the prior 60 months and lawful US earnings typical of full-time employment for at least four of the five prior calendar years.
SECTION 6. No treaty may be entered into that would or could, require US residency, naturalization, citizenship or welfare benefits to be granted, restrict/bar deportation, impair US entry security, impose any form of international taxation within the United States, require any contingent payment from any domestic person or entity, or other than a treaty solely dealing with a domestic Indian tribe or intellectual property, remain in force in excess of ten years.
SECTION 7. No bill proposing an immigration/naturalization legal change and a federal expenditure for any extraneous purpose may become law.
While Section I of Amendment XIV was not meant to apply to renegade Indians and the illegals are mainly Central American Indians that scoff at our laws, a Trump executive order probably won’t do what is needed since Democrats may regain power.
My detest for these people has no bounds.
Me think they protest too much.
President Trump is bringing up subjects the RINOs and Democrats don’t want brought up.
Once again I want to Thank President Trump for making these fake Republicans to expose themselves for the rats they are.
When I read statements like this from the GOP’s Congressional leadership, I wonder why we even bother to vote any more.
Is “Defend the 14th Amendment” our new national campaign theme?
