Call it what it is: a desperate midterm election Hail Mary -- President Donald Trump floating a proposal to eliminate birthright citizenship by executive order.
Let's cut to the chase: This literally can't happen.
In the President's way is a little thing called the Constitution, which he swore under oath to uphold.
Birthright citizenship is a hot-button issue for anti-immigration activists, adding to Trump's intentionally toxic rhetoric about a migrant "invasion."
But birthright citizenship is embedded in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which says, in part: "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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."
