QUESTION PRESENTED
The Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment provides that those “born * * * in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” are U.S.
citizens. U.S. Const. Amend. XIV, § 1. The Clause was
adopted to confer citizenship on the newly freed slaves
and their children, not on the children of aliens temporarily visiting the United States or of illegal aliens. On
January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive
Order No. 14,160, Protecting the Meaning and Value of
American Citizenship, which restores the original meaning of the Citizenship Clause and provides, on a prospective basis only, that children of temporary visitors
and illegal aliens are not U.S. citizens by birth. The Citizenship Order directs federal agencies not to issue or
accept citizenship documents for such children born
more than 30 days after the Order’s effective date.
The question presented is whether the Executive Order complies on its face with the Citizenship Clause and
with 8 U.S.C. 1401(a), which codifies that Clause.
Here is the question presented. It's a relatively clean vehicle for the Supreme Court to finally decide whether it is lawful for the president to deny birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Let him undo the pardons. Sets precedent that his pardons will be undone and the right people can be repardoned and then the laws can get fixed.

He can’t undo a pardon. All the criminals he pardoned would be in a lot of trouble if a President could do that! Of course, he doesn’t bother to find out what the law is; he just tries to see what he can get away with. 🙄

This proves how little he knows about our government and laws. He can alter executive orders by writing new ones; however, you cannot rescind a pardon. Also, an executive order is not a law, regardless of what Trump may think or say. AND, Biden's use of the autopen is no different than Trump's.

Mike Johnson Says He Opposes Bill Banning Lawmakers From Stock Trading
Amid concerns over insider trading, Johnson says a stock ban would deter “good people” from running for office.
Polling shows that a bipartisan majority of Americans don't want their lawmakers trading stocks.
Mike Johnson needs to wake up and remember that lawmakers are supposed to be serving the public, not their stock portfolios.

American prosperity and security depend on the
development and promotion of competence. Competence and merit are
among our greatest civilizational advantages: where the best Americans are
hired, promoted, and honored, innovation and prosperity follow. Should
competence be destroyed or systematically discouraged, complex systems
that we take for granted—from infrastructure to national security to
education and research—will cease to function. Should merit be smothered,
America’s historic advantages in science, technology, industry, defense, and
innovation will evaporate. The success of radical ideologies that seek to
replace competence and merit with favored group status would render
America unrecognizable and unable to defend itself. At the same time, we
cannot allow meritocracy to be used as a justification to open America’s
labor market to the world in the name of finding “global talent” that
undercuts American workers.

The United States will unapologetically protect
our own sovereignty. This includes preventing its erosion by transnational
and international organizations, attempts by foreign powers or entities to
censor our discourse or curtail our citizens’ free speech rights, lobbying and
influence operations that seek to steer our policies or involve us in foreign
conflicts, and the cynical manipulation of our immigration system to build
up voting blocs loyal to foreign interests within our country. The
United States will chart our own course in the world and determine our own
destiny, free of outside interference.
The White House's National Security Strategy includes some smatterings of Great Replacement rhetoric, naturally.
