Can Trump really end birthright citizenship?Birthright citizenship, which gives U.S. citizenship to anyone born on the country’s soil, is built into law through the Constitution. President-elect Donald Trump said he wants to end birthright citizenship on his first day in office next month by issuing an executive order. Would he actually be able to do it?
Not likely.Legal experts say that no executive order can overturn the 14th Amendment because the president doesn’t have the authority to change the Constitution.
Trump could attempt to end birthright citizenship through a new constitutional amendment, but it would be nearly impossible because of the extensive support required for passage. A constitutional amendment requires two-thirds of support in both houses of the U.S. Congress, and the ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.
