Fun fact: Presidential signatures are not required to keep the government open. Congress has the power to override a president and make law.
The magic numbers are 290 and 67 to override a veto. Overrides used to be far more common.
This won’t happen as long as the GOP is wedded to Trump. But what if shutdown persists into, say, April?

Let's think about "Executive Orders" (EO) in the context of "Birthright Citizenship".

An "Executive Order" (Wiki) "has the force of Law.. subject to judicial review".

To pass "Judicial Review", it MUST NOT "lack support by statute or the Constitution".

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive…
In that context, what would the proposed EO do?

Some people think it will "TAKE AWAY" an existing RIGHT of Birthright Citizenship (BRC).

However, this first debate position presupposes that a 'right of Birthright Citizenship' actually exists because 'it has been PRACTICED'.
Other people think the EO will "correctly apply existing law" because there was A PERIOD OF TIME after the 14th Amendment when 'Birthright Citizenship' for non-Americans was NOT practiced with clarity.

This second debate position argues that BRC 'has been incorrectly practiced'

Trump called birthright citizenship a "crazy policy." Honestly, I'm ok with that (though I disagree). There's nothing wrong with policy disagreements, even constitutional ones, espeically policies that vary widely in the OECD world. Lots of fine democracies lack birthright. 1/
Indeed, there are plenty of policies set forth in our Constitution that *I* find to be essentially crazy. Minimum ages to run to office. The natural born citizen clause. The 3/4 state approval for amendments. You probably do too: many people hate state equality in the Senate. 2/
What I despise about Trump w/r/t birthright citizenship is twofold: first, his motivation for attacking it, which is essentially ethno-nationlist no matter how you spin it. Plenty has been written about this. As a politician, he's more or less a white supremacist. Gross. 3/

One thing I haven’t seen stressed enough about the crank arguments on 14th Amendment “jurisdiction” is that they’re incoherent on their own terms. If you take them seriously, they wouldn’t just affect children of unauthorized immigrants. vox.com/policy-and-pol…
The claim is that “under the jurisdiction” doesn’t mean what it seems to on an ordinary language reading (“subject to the laws of...”) but only applies to children under the “complete” jurisdiction of the U.S., lacking any (presumably inherited) allegiance to any other state.
But on that theory, why would it exclude only children of “illegal immigrants” (a category that didn’t really exist when the 14th Amendment was ratified)? Why not non-citizen legal permanent residents and dual nationals also?

I’ll preface this brief rant on #birthright #citizenship by saying that, for personal, political and religious reasons, I do not identify as a Republican or a Democrat. I believe that as a Christian and pastor I must remain engaged — but not aligned.
Over the past decade, I have become increasingly selective about which issues I will weigh in on in a public forum. As a rule, I’ll avoid almost all discussions of electoral politics in the U.S. or in any of the other five countries in which I serve.
I do, however, feel completely free to discuss and debate policies and perspectives that affect orphaned and vulnerable kids, and I have praised — and criticized — politicians and pundits Democrat and Republican when they help or harm at-risk children.
