Trump Strips Citizenship from Children of Immigrants, Thus Disqualifying Himself from Presidency

[hlthe2b]

Ok, it's Borowitz, but as the eminent Laurence Tribe points out, there's a serious point:

The constitutional crisis came to light moments after the signing ceremony, when a fourth grader visiting the Oval Office on a school tour pointed out the far-reaching legal ramifications of the order.

“Hey, wait, wasn’t your mother from Scotland?” the student, Tracy Klugian, asked. “That means you’re not a citizen and you can’t be President.”

Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Trump and the author of the executive order, quickly grabbed the document from the Oval Office desk, panic spreading across his face as he reread it.

“Oh, my God,” Miller gasped. “What have I done?”

Trump immediately called Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for help in voiding the executive order, but Kavanaugh was unable to take the call because he was “sleeping off a rough night,” an aide to the Justice said. --more--

1. I wonder why

No reporter has ever asked how Trump's grandfather came to the states from Germany/Austria, was he undocumented? I know they did not want him in his own country.

2. He immigrated

He was processed at the Castle Garden Emigrant Landing Depot in New York City on October 19, 1885! And he became a US citizen in 1892!

It would appear that his grandfather was sponsored by an older sister who had immigrated to the US in 1883, in other words Grandpa Fred entered the country as the result of Chain Migration...as did Trump's mother and Melania's parents!!!
