The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So, even more juice applied to getting Trumpers elected, both in DC, and in state houses, to pass an amendment redefining who is a citizen.

His nibs claiming only an act of Congress is needed, to unwind the 14th Amendment. Sorry, doesn't work that way. He needs to bend enough states to ratify the act, as an amendment, to unwind the clause in the 14th.

Following the ruling, Trump called for legislation to address the birthright citizenship issue.

The president posted, “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process. No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support!”:

Dope does have a point about "birth tourism". We need legislation defining that if people cross the border to squirt their spawn out here, there needs to be more required, like a parent being here legally, as a resident, not a tourist, and intending to stay here. 100 years ago, when a parent became a naturalized citizen, the spouse and spawn were all listed on the naturalization certificate. My dad, and his younger siblings, all born in the US, are listed on his father's naturalization certificate, even though they would have been US citizens by birth.
