While the U.S. presidency is one of the most dominant political positions on Earth, that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean anything Trump says goes.<\/p>\n<p>He might say his pen is mightier than a sword, but there are legal and moral roadblocks in the way of this executive order going through successfully. So, what are its chances?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-14th-amendment-citizenship\">What is 14th Amendment citizenship?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The 14th Amendment | Constitution 101\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pQWWS3EOv24?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;%23038;origin=https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>People with birthright citizenship have automatic rights in the U.S.: &#8220;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,&#8221; reads the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>However, some have argued that the &#8220;subject to the jurisdiction thereof&#8221; could mean the authors did not intend to give citizenship to the children of visitors and non-citizens. Margaret Stock, a former law professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y, explained to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2018\/10\/30\/662335612\/legal-scholars-say-14th-amendment-doubt-trump-can-end-birthright-citizenship-wit\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NPR<\/a>, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s kind of a lunatic fringe argument. I&#8217;ve been debating folks like this for more than a decade, and they claim that the 14th Amendment&#8217;s been misinterpreted,&#8221; Stock said. &#8220;And now they&#8217;ve got a president in office who apparently was fixated on this as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trump-s-plan-to-end-it\">Trump&#8217;s plan to end it<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"President-elect Donald Trump says he will fight to end birthright citizenship\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AdZyWY8Rjfg?start=19&#038;feature=oembed&#038;%23038;enablejsapi=1&#038;%23038;origin=https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>In a 2018 interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/trump-birthright-citizenship-executive-order-0cf4285a-16c6-48f2-a933-bd71fd72ea82.html\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Axios<\/a>, Trump claimed, &#8220;It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don&#8217;t,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now they&#8217;re saying I can do it just with an executive order.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He (<a href=\"http:\/\/harvardhrj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/Culliton-Gonzalez.pdf\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">incorrectly<\/a>) added, &#8220;We&#8217;re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States&#8230; with all of those benefits. It&#8217;s ridiculous. And it has to end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated the idea in a Dec. 2024 NBC interview, saying, \u201cWe have to end it. We\u2019re the only country that has it.\u201d He then tells the baffled-looking reporter interviewing him, &#8220;You know we&#8217;re the only country that has it.&#8221; Her face says she in fact does not know that, probably because it&#8217;s a demonstrably false claim.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scholars-say-it-s-impossible-to-end-birthright-citizenship-via-an-executive-order\">Scholars say it&#8217;s impossible to end birthright citizenship via an executive order<\/h2>\n<p>As explained by the ACLU, &#8220;Only constitutional amendments, not executive orders or legislation, can change the Constitution.&#8221; <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-quote-icon is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s why scholars have overwhelmingly condemned earlier, failed attempts by some state and federal lawmakers to pass legislation that denies citizenship to the U.S. born-children of undocumented noncitizens as unconstitutional. Because even Congress could not alter the constitutional right of birthright citizenship, a president certainly cannot do so by unilateral executive action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump is a big fan of the good ol&#8217; executive order and enjoys rolling back policies from previous administrations \u2014 particularly when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/climate\/trump-environment-rollbacks-list.html\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">environmental policies<\/a>. When Joe Biden took office in 2021, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonesday.com\/en\/insights\/2021\/01\/white-house-revokes-prior-administrations-regulatory-reform-executive-orders\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reversed many of Trump&#8217;s rollbacks<\/a>, but it would be naive to hope Trump won&#8217;t immediately start throwing his weight around <a href=\"https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\/politics\/when-does-donald-trump-get-sworn-in-as-president\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the day he&#8217;s inaugurated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Trump makes a lot of promises he doesn&#8217;t keep, likely to continue motivating his fanbase and sparking debate over touchstone voter subjects like immigration. Trump&#8217;s platform was built on targeting undocumented immigrants, whom he disgustingly calls &#8220;illegal aliens,&#8221; so it simply makes sense for him to make claims about ending birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court previously ruled to uphold the 14th Amendment&#8217;s birthright citizenship in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oyez.org\/cases\/1850-1900\/169us649\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United States v. Wong Kim Ark<\/a>, justifying that a child born in the U.S. to Chinese parents \u2014 who were not U.S. citizens \u2014 was a citizen.<\/p>\n<p>An executive order going ahead in this manner would be unprecedented and require lengthy legal battles. But <a href=\"https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\/politics\/as-donald-trump-fixates-on-the-alleged-laws-liz-cheney-has-broken-lets-examine-the-laws-hes-broken\/\">Trump is a criminal<\/a> about to be holding office again so the impossible is possible, apparently. That being said, it&#8217;s very unlikely to go ahead if experts are to be believed.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br>
