Why not view it as moderates opposing the executive order
This court overturned Roe v. Wade (after Kavanaugh swore it was settled law) and made the presidency a monarchy. The moderates must be in hiding.

Presidential system of government is shitty. One man makes decisions that are important, often based on their whims and biases without subjecting it to representative's debates or their millions of citizen's opinion. Presidential system of government is shitty, nonsensical and more like demi-god-ness over citizenry.

You're viewing this from the lens of 2024. It's not the first time this case has come to the Supreme Court and in fact, the 1899 Wong Art Kim ruling is how we understand the 14th amendment today. If the court could overturn Roe v. Wade, they can overturn Wong's ruling.
Roe V Wade was not a constitutional issue, abortion rights is not stated in the constitution. In fact the main reason the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade was that it was not backed up by any legislative law, and advised that it should be taking to Congress to make it law.

Funny enough Trump's parents came from one shithole country in Europe and he got his citizenship by birth. Oponu ni bobo Trump yen
Trump has German/Scottish ancestry.

European settlers are the real Americans. They founded the place and named it. The Red Indians were NOT in charge when the Europeans came. And they were easily displaced and trampled. Too bad!

A Dutchman was the one of the earlier presidents of the US - Martin van Buren.

The EO banning birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. But with a right-leaning SCOTUS, it can be dragged for a while. But to be effective, it will have to be codified in the US constitution, which won't be easy.

Does he know how much the US economy will be losing by stopping this? And this is the man that knows business... Lol!
It is not. Arguments that the 14th amendment did not apply to non-citizen children born here have been an issue for over 100 years. The Wong Kim Ark ruling is what gave us the liberal interpretation we have today. A conservative SCOTUS can certainly overturn it... and that essentially becomes law for another 100 years.

Neither is the child of an illegal alien in the constitution. At stake is whether the 14th amendment should be applied to them or not. The court has argued the case before... it isn't new.

You can’t use an executive order to change the constitution. Listen to the video. You can hear him say they have a chance in the courts after the reporter asked about it

This is not Nigeria where Tinubu will do whatever he likes
What did Tinubu do that's against Nigeria law?

This is why so-called toilet Nigerian elites don't like him - he promises to make it hard for them to have a permanent base while ruining their home countries. Everybody go focus on developing their dominant countries.

he not acting alone. Those who wrote the constitution are tired of immigrants . They tryna sanitize their country. But it's too late
The funny thing is those who wrote the Constitution were all migrants and descendants of migrants.

And of course this is no News to me. The Orange man Will do and say anything to be in the News.

His first coming, it was no entry for Muslims but the Saudi Arabians can come and go as they wish because they have money but others can stay away.

His 4 years will soon be history.

It's not necessarily about the presidential system per se, it's more about trying to replace the monarchical form of government with something similar but gives limited powers to the people. It's more like the Animal Farm scenario whereby you replace one set of oppressors with a different set, but thus time the new oppressors are your own people.
The US is having pre 18th century nostalgia, where you have an all powerful king issuing decrees and orders to citizens.

The conservative SCOTUS will overrule the Constitution in support of Trump as far as this matter is concerned.

The 14th ammendments never talked about aliens or parents, it expressly mentioned birth, and naturalisation. The 14th ammendment only recognised citizenship through birth or naturalisation. Naturalisation is under the control of the executive, birth is not.

Olodo. How did Trump's great grand parents get to America?


quote author=Bwanasaraw post=133804264]Very Good, I support the executive order.

Maybe our politicians will learn to fix our health system in Nigeria.

Many terrorist sympathizers don't like America and speak bad about America online but they will still run to US & UK to give birth so their kids can claim citizenship. Why don't they go to Iran, China, Russia, Afghanistan, Lebanon etc to give birth.

The son of the former Chairman of Jaiz bank (sharia bank) ALHAJI (DR.) UMARU ABDUL MUTALLAB in Nigeria is currently serving life sentence in US prison because he wanted to blew up an American airline mid air.

I hope the incoming prime minister of Canada follow suit.[/quote]

You were not mocking? What was the meaning of that “Tor” at the end of your comment?

Anyway, I don’t know why you would think you are the woman in that my little story.

America just woke up! The terrorists who flew airplanes into the WTC with Americans onboard killing well over 3,000 people learnt to fly airplanes in America and benefitted from the arrangement Trump just truncated. Every nation, and not the least America, must focus on securing its interests. Nigeria, the sleeping giant of Africa, WAKE UP!

The native Americans are the real owners of America. Read well ..it's just like saying because you came to Ekiti and saw no people there, then you are the owners of the southwest when Ondo town has been settled before you came

Even if you were not born in the states, and your parents are citizens, you will also be one.
Obviously you can still grab your citizenship from your parents ask long as they were US citizens before you were born anywhere…

If they become citizens after some years u were born then u will need them to file an immigrant visa for you.. takes 5years tho
