will have to hinge on the mother, right? Otherwise anyone could point to a male citizen and say, he's the father. Am I thinking right here?

(42,703 posts)Despite how the story is being reported, what is almost certainly being planned is an attempt to limit birthright citizenship so that it does not apply where the parents of a child born in the US are not legally in the US at the time of the birth. Does that mean one parent or both? Don't know until we see (if we ever do) what Trump is planning.
I don't think even the expected limitation on birthright citizenship should fly under the 14th amendment, but it is a risky strategy to overstate what Trump is planning since, if he proposes something narrower (as I believe he will), it will make his proposal seem less radical and outrageous.

Secondly,this whole idea is about the NAZI Party and their hanger-oners and stupid sympathizers to suppress the non white Votes in the next seven days.
Steve Miller ans Bill Shine are the Puppet Masters behind this garbage.
Old enough to remember similar Bull Crap after WW2 being spread by Rethug Candidates in Upper Midwest in 1948 thru early fifties.
