Current Event: The Fourteenth amendment Kai Ueno 5/18/16 Period 6 Mr. Welsh This article is about Donald Trump's scene on the 14th amendment. He says when he becomes to president he will change the laws that views citizenship to all the people in united States. This is because, the Supreme Court decisions recognizing birthright citizenship, high court decisions are the law of the land, until an act of Congress or a constitutional amendment overrules them. Also, because the current immigration rules provide that a child born to a foreign diplomat on U.S. soil is not a citizen, because the baby is not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. Many citizens may not realize that their citizenship is not covered by the Constitution, but rather by federal statute. Currently born in the U.S. territories do not have birthright citizenship via the Constitution, but by statute or not at all, in the case of American Samoa. Finally, it says that constitution cannot change the amendment because it has flip flopped before.

I disagree with Donald Trump like President Obama because, when he becomes to president he is going to abolish the laws of citizenship such as amendment 14th. I wonder that is he going to bulid a huge wall between mexico and I thought this is a discrimination to the Muslims. I think he can change the laws of citizenship because, President Obama and the liberals have set the precedent and there is no longer any need for congress or the senate. Also,we now have executive privilege to be used anytime the president wants. But, clearly US courts have the power to adjudicate cases involving foreigners legal or illegal within the territories in U.S and finally, I think foreigners should be the subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. I'm excited to the 2016 election.
