I dunno… hauling people to El Salvador without due process, teasing a third term despite the 22nd Amendment, and calling for the impeachment of judges because you don’t like their rulings do not seem like uses of legitimate presidential power.

The citizenship clause was added to the 14th Amendment in the Senate in 1866. Senator Jacob Howard introduced the final version and shepherded it to passage. Here's Eric Foner's "Second Founding: The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution." (2019)

The citizenship clause was put in the 14th Amend to specifically overturn the Dred Scott decision (1857), which claimed that Black Americans were not citizens. Congress still could have put some restrictions on it. But they choose not to. They choose to establish universal birthright citizenship.

Just spoke with former Officer Mike Fanone about the Biden pardon that covers him and other officers who testified before the Jan. 6 committee.
“This is a different kind of American exceptionalism. It’s exceptionally fucked up.”

Teaching Bruen and Rahimi today. Looking forward to explaining to students why surety laws are a historical analogue for statutes disarming people who are subject to domestic violence restraining orders but not a historical analogue for may-issue public carry license schemes.

The Articles allowed for states to recall their congrsssional delegates if they didn’t like what they were doing, but the framers of the Constitution decided not to include such a provision in the US Constitution. It’s not like nobody thought of it at the time.

So actually Judge (maybe future Justice) Ho has found a way around his previous support of birthright citizenship as a constitutional guarantee. Turns out illegally crossing the border is “invasion” and your children have no citizenship rights.
It’s nonsense. But this is going to be the argument.
