Had anyone told Trump that even as President, he won't be able to "rescind" constitutional amendments?
I'm sure he meant that he would push Congress to change the 14th. And that COULD be done.
But he would face more than a significant battle trying to remove citizenship status of those who are already citizens.
He can "push" Congress all he wants, there's no chance of a super-majority of either house passing an amendment revoking birthright citizenship, let alone 38 states ratifying it.
Well there is another way to get it done, SCOTUS could easily rule against "birthright citizenship" just as they have reversed MANY 100 year old rulings. I find that more unlikely than a new law though.
