Trump plans to repeal the 14th Amendment with an EO [View all]

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/president-donald-trump-plans-to-end-birthright-us-citizenship/articleshow/66431475.cms

(Not sure about the reliability of the Times of India, but the Boston Globe is reporting the same thing. This was just the first link in my google search.)

Donald Trump intends to sign an order ending birthright citizenship, which is the principle where anyone born in the US, regardless of the citizenship oh the child’s parents, is a citizen of the US.

This will of course go to the Supreme Court, where it’ll have to be overturned. Trump says his advisors say he can do this. Is Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys, one of his advisors now?
