[Politics] How Trump is changing the constitution without going through the constitutional process?

This is being done through the interpretation of the words in the Constitution rather than changing the words in Constitution.

Now I must say this likely will be challenged in the supreme court, yet is there any doubt how this REPUBLICAN supreme Court will rule?

Trump just signed this CONSTITUTIONAL interpretation through executive order. Basically dictatorially.

It has no governor approval much less ¾ of the governors. It has no Congressional approval, much ⅔rds of Congress which is required by the Constitution.

I will only give the first few paragraphs of this interpretational law. The link is given to the online document.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship/
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift. The Fourteenth Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” That provision rightly repudiated the Supreme Court of the United States’s shameful decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), which misinterpreted the Constitution as permanently excluding people of African descent from eligibility for United States citizenship solely based on their race.

But the Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text.

Now how soon will this supreme Court will delay on even hearing the objections? It's the law of the land until they do!







As usual with political posts this informational. I will delete comments that I believe are negative.

He can't. It's not possible. If he tried the Democrats would sue him and challenge it in court. They absolutely hate him and the freedom he stands for.
