If an EO can override the 14th Anendment. Then a Democrat should isssue an EO overriding the 2A

Let’s see how that goes over.

Dumbasses!

1. It's more complicated than that

Trump's is exploiting an area of poor phrasing in the 14th and also an old SCOTUS ruling (Wong Kim Ark). That old 1898 case defined 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' to include obeying us law. That in turn opens the door to arguing the inverse - that it doesn't apply if the parents are in the country in violation of us law.

It's not the strongest argument, but it is a scenario not explicitly covered before and thus a gray area for them to exploit.

The 2nd however has been redefined so thoroughly by the current Pub SCOTUS that there isn't much former gray area they haven't repainted in their favor.

3. Scary times ahead

I read that "jurisdiction" was put in, so that those born on Indian Reservations were not eligible for citizenship.

However, like Roe vs Wade, there hasn't been any ground swelling to chip away at citizenship. And although it did not go in effect until yesterday, it leaves 80% of Americans saying, "I shouldn't be a citizen"

2. It can't

Though.

4. Didn't you get the memo? Republicans can override the Constitution with an EO but Democrats

cannot. Dems have to play by the rules.
