Wouldn't that invalidate himself as a citizen? Because his parents were immigrants that birthed that piece of human shit from a rotten pile of garbage that is his mother's womb.

I don't like him either, but I also prefer accurate information.

I believe this is only applicable to people born to illegal immigrants.

According to Wikipedia, his mother became a US citizen in 1942, and he was born in 1946, so this wouldn’t have applied to him.

I'm interested to hear other thoughts about this that I may not have considered.

if neither parent is a US citizen or permanent resident, the child wouldn't have US citizenship by birth. notably, Kamala Harris would have been ineligible for the Presidency under this rule, since her parents were on student visas when she was born. (though the Heritage Foundation maintains they wouldn't retroactively strip citizenship but still... yikes.)

also, the issue before the Court concerns a TRO blocking implementation of the policy change. they're asking for the Court to rule that TROs must apply only to named plaintiffs. that's a separate issue from the legality of the EO itself, but it's actually scarier, since it would neuter the lower courts' last meaningful check on the Executive's power.

Stephen Miller has indeed broached the topic of denaturalizing citizens
