22. They used that arguement last year

But even so, the laws enacted by congress [b]should [/b]more or less supercede much of this back and forth......

I didn't know that there was an actual law in 1940, which gave way to how we implement birth right citizenship.


It really should supercede interpretation of the constitutuion because then the Supreme Court would determine that any long standing law written by and implemented by congress for decades is "null and void" via EO.

No one is contesting the constitutionality of the 1940 immigration laws, not even Trump....

He's just obliterating them by defacto...Maybe he isn't even aware of them....
