Judiciary's GOP chairman says ending birthright citizenship would require rewriting Constitution

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said on Tuesday that he believes it would take a constitutional amendment to change birthright citizenship after President Trump floated he could do so by executive order.

"I am not a lawyer but it seems to me it would take a constitutional amendment to change that as opposed to an executive order," Grassley told an Iowa CBS station.

He added that the 14th Amendment says "anybody born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction there of and those last few words are very important. It seems to me born in the United States is pretty simple, subject to the jurisdiction there of might be a little more debatable by lawyers."

Grassley's comments come after Trump said in an interview with Axios, which aired on Tuesday, that he believed he could amendment the Constitution to nix birthright citizenship with an executive order.

Maybe Trump thinks Drunky McRapeface will rule in his favor.

1. That is today

I am sure Grassley will change with the wind. There is a GOP legislative proposal already on the table (which a Roberts court might rule Constitutional).
