This action strikes at the heart of our Constitution\u2019s promise of equality and fairness, and we at Common Cause are evaluating our legal options to respond\u2014because we simply can\u2019t let this stand.\r\n\r\nThe good news is that no president, including Trump, can override an official, ratified part of the U.S. Constitution. However, the bad news is this fact won\u2019t deter him from trying. By doing so, Trump is sowing fear among millions of our neighbors, leaving them to worry they\u2019ll be condemned to permanent second-class status.\r\n\r\nThis executive order follows his plans to deport thousands of families and community members, showcasing a presidency bent on forcing American immigrants into hiding. Trump is actively denying us all the multi-racial democracy and safe neighborhoods we deserve.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t help Trump shred this core constitutional protection. Protect birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment today.\r\n\r\nHere are the facts: the 14th Amendment of the Constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States\u2014plain and simple.\r\n\r\nThis right, fought for by nearly one million Americans who gave their lives during the Civil War, is one of the most fundamental promises of equality and fairness enshrined in our Constitution. Every person born here is entitled to the same rights, protections, and opportunities\u2014period.\r\n\r\nYet, Trump and his allies are determined to dismantle this constitutional right, even threatening to circumvent our laws to achieve their goal.\r\n\r\nThe 14th Amendment is clear, and legal experts agree that Trump would likely need to pass a constitutional amendment to overrule it. But Trump and his allies in Congress know they can\u2019t do that, so they\u2019re desperately searching for loopholes to bypass our system of checks and balances.\r\n\r\nWhether through an unconstitutional executive order or legislative action, we must speak out now to prevent these attempts to undermine our democracy and constitutional protections."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_work","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_work":{"heading":"Work","manually_curate":false,"work":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
