Trump, with conservatives packed in his court, is planning to reverse 14th Amendment by executive order:
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."

The amendment was partly to prevent the shipping of African-Americans to Africa

Trump claims the US is the only country in the World that allows people become citizens just by being born there.

The annulment of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th amendment would require a constitutional amendment. If Il Douche goes through with his executive order attack on the US Constitution, we'll discover whether supporters of the imperial presidency like Justice Kavanaugh see it that way.

He’s going to do it due to ”national security.”

Then in the Great Trump Birther Law, all babies born with one US parent get only a green card. Then Obama retroactively gets one too. With Obama no longer a citizen, all his doings are erased. No more Obamacare. Mission accomplished!

I get sent ”home” for tweeting unpatriotic tweets.

Canada and Mexico, Merica's two closest neighbours give this right to the children of non legal immigrants. Does Trump not even bother getting properly briefed any more??

Trump gets briefed by Fox News which at this point is nearly indistinguishable from Breitbart and Infowars.

Or a majority of judges in the SCOTUS to reinterpret the 14th according to Trump's liking. The reinterpretation is bound to be totally nonsensical, but who could you appeal to with your objections?

Caravan marching to US to vote and mess up trump? First of all they can't march 1000 miles and register to vote in a week. Second, Soros money claim is total bullshit.

FBI asked to investigate suspected double hoax against Mueller
FBI to investigate whether a hoaxer offered women money to make false allegations about special counsel investigating Russian election meddling
Not surprising really.

Ryan is clearly wrong because Trump is unbound by anything! He’s a revolution!

It's okay though, because he's talked to top legal scholars who, as lawyers are want to do, have told him it's certainly worth a punt.
