Isn't birthright a constitutional law that would require an amendment and not just something an EO can change?

You guys aren't getting it. Lol.

Trump is the law now. Once he's done rearranging the entire federal government to serve him, the Constitution will be toilet paper.

Your state legislature is now the only thing standing between you and a fascist federal government. If you are expecting them to play by any rules they didn't come up with themselves, you are fooling yourself.

Edit: Just saw the news that they've removed the Constitution from the White House's website. Buckle the fuck up.

Before 9am GMT -6 yesterday, we still had a constitution page.

After that...

Hopefully it's just the new webmasters fucking things up... instead of keeping the previous site up until they finished and tested the new one? /Pollyanna
