Graham to introduce legislation to end birthright citizenship
By Jordain Carney - 10/30/18 11:12 AM EDT

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday said that he will introduce legislation to end birthright citizenship after President Trump suggested he wanted to do so through an executive order.

"Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship. I’ve always supported comprehensive immigration reform — and at the same time — the elimination of birthright citizenship," Graham said in a string of tweets.

He added that he plans "to introduce legislation along the same lines as the proposed executive order" from Trump. Congress is out of session until Nov. 13.

If Graham is going to propose legislation to amend the Constitution, his bill would need to win over not only two-thirds majorities in Congress, but also be ratified by three-quarters of the states.

Graham has somehow morphed into a real Senator.  I posted an article from Fox about this where Ryan is saying it's a good idea but cannot be accomplished through Executive Order.

He can issue an executive order, but it will get shot down by a liberal federal judge.  He needs to get Congress to do their job, something they are good at abdicating.

Must be election time, time to pretend to be a conservative again, then push DACA compromise with the democrats again after the election in a few days.

I don't think so, but we shall see.
