Promises made: striking birthright citizenship from the US Cons ution by presidential decree

[Winehole23]

Mike Jonson and JD Vance are talking about emending the cons ution by statute

Trump 2.0 is the most extreme, radical anti-American any of us have seen in our lives -- the 14th Amendment isn't a loophole, it's been settled, foundational law for 160 years

just btw, birthright citizenship has been an explicit English common law right since the 1600s

[Winehole23]

not grandfathered, though

Calvin's Case did not extend English subject status to the antenati (Scots born prior to 1603). They remained aliens in relation to England, on the theory that King James had not yet become the king of England at the time of their birth.^[11] Attempts had been made in the English Parliament, prior to Calvin's Case, to naturalise all of James's Scottish subjects—both those born after his English accession in 1603 (the postnati) and also those born before 1603 (the antenati)—but these legislative efforts had been unsuccessful.^[12] Concerns had been expressed that extending the privileges of English subjects to all Scots would cause England to be flooded by "an influx of 'hungry Scots'".^[13] Objections were also raised that granting naturalisation to all the Scots would have encouraged the legal philosophy, espoused by James, of absolute monarchy and the divine right of kings.^[14] Even after Calvin's Case, the English Parliament could have enacted a naturalisation bill covering the antenati, but it never did so.
