Trump ends birthright citizenship

On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued a proclamation ending birthright citizenship in the United States. This is a great day for our country. The proclamation is good public policy and should welcomed by all patriots and constitutional originalists. Contrary to conventional wisdom, ending birthright citizenship by executive action is fully compliant with the Constitution.
