Summary
Trump renewed his promise to end birthright citizenship via executive action, despite the legal precedent set by the 14th Amendment and the 1898 Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Wong Kim Ark.
Altering this requires a constitutional amendment, a challenging process. A two-thirds majority in Congress and ratification by 38 state legislatures are needed.
Trump’s estranged niece, Mary Trump, criticized his stance, noting the irony given their family’s immigrant history.
Friedrich Trump, Donald’s grandfather, emigrated from Germany under controversial circumstances, and his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, immigrated from Scotland.
Trump’s grandpappy actually tried to go back to Germany after operating a Canadian whorehouse but they didn’t want him back as he was a draft dodger.
ah, draft dodging… the trump family tradition
Yes dear, but he’s white. This is about racism, not about applying rules or law consistently.
Leopards?
