Trump administration revives talk of action on birthright citizenship
By Brett Samuels - 11/20/20 05:13 PM EST

The Trump administration has revived discussions around taking executive action targeting birthright citizenship in its final weeks before leaving office, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

President Trump has spoken throughout his first term about ending birthright citizenship. Drafts of a possible order have been circulating for some time, and there is now internal discussion about finalizing it before the Biden administration takes over in January, sources said.

The administration is aware the order would be promptly challenged in court, but officials would hope to get a ruling on whether birthright citizenship is protected under the 14th Amendment, according to one source familiar with the plans. Many lawmakers and experts have argued it is protected, but the courts have not definitively ruled on the issue.


“Since taking office, President Trump has never shied away from using his lawful executive authority to advance bold policies and fulfill the promises he made to the American people, but I won’t speculate or comment on potential executive action,” White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in a statement.

Good.  This IS extremely important, but I though that a judge had already ruled against this.

What is he doing wasting any time on this nonsense?  Without a 2nd term, he is a total lame duck POTUS.  Waste of time to do anything at this point with the exception of focusing on getting the courts to do the right thing, to present the NECESSARY EVIDENCE to bury these traitors.

If he wants to do anything besides focus on establishing the win, he should be planning a 2nd term with identifying WHO he plans to purge from his administration.  The list is long!

At least until January 20, he is still POTUS. Now is the time to get things done, just in case the fraud cannot be outed and the fraudulent votes removed, whether they were harvested, stolen ballots, printed up and brought in, 'cast' by dead people, multiple counts of the same votes, or created by an algorithm in the software (or a combination of all of those).

Smokin Joe...he will not get anything done of consequence, particularly something controversial.  Birthright citizenship will not be acted on by Congress.  Not even the Republicans will lift a finger.  And the Democommies control the House, so what is he thinking?  Really?

If ever there were a lame duck POTUS, it is Trump.  Everyone in Washington wants him gone.  Focus on getting re-elected, which it appears will not happen at this point.

I keep hearing courts saying no evidence.  How can there be no evidence when they have hundreds of testimonials in each state?  The fix is in.

Then the whole damned mess needs to be cleaned out. Give @bigheadfred his neutron bombs.
