I will amend my last statement. Yes they are under USA jurisdiction. Ah. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Thats what they are going to change, you seem to have a problem with that. Who is " they"? Who, exactly, is going to change the Constitution? I'm curious. They is them and them is going to change the constitution. You be sure to let us all know how it works out for "them", Leroy Process to Amend the US Constitution Process to Amend the US Constitution:
Someone, a Congressman, a Senator, any citizen via his/her representative in the Congress, can propose an amendment to the US Constitution via Congress.
Individually, each House of Congress (The US House of Representatives & the US Senate) must agree to debate, & then vote on the Amendment.
Each House must pass the Amendment by a two-thirds (2/3) Super-Majority vote.
(435 US Representatives of the US House times 2/3 equals 290 Representatives of the 435).
(100 US Senators times 2/3 equals 67 Senators of the 100 Senators).
If Successful in the both Houses of the US Congress, then the proposed Amendment gets sent to the 50 individual States (to the People), where it requires 3/4 of all the States (50 times 3/4 equals 38 States of the 50 States) to Ratify the new Amendment.
At the State level ratification is either done within the individual State's Legislatures, or if mandated by an individual State's Constitution, it must then be sent to the Citizens of that State via referendum to vote on the proposed Amendment.
Usually the entire States ratification process (all 50 States combined) from inception until passage is limited to Seven (7) years.
There have been 27 Amendments to the Constitution to date.
Approximately 11,770 measures have been submitted to the US Congress that proposed amendments to the US Constitution from 1789 through January 3, 2019 (over the span of 230+ years).
Since 1789, Congress was only able to successfully submit 33 proposed Constitutional amendments to the States for ratification.
Of these, only 27 have been ratified by the requisite number of States.
That means well over 11,000 proposed Amendments to the US Constitution could not be agreed to by a Super-Majority of Congress.
The first 10 Amendments ratified by the States, to become part of their US Constitution (the Peoples Document), were/are called "The Bill of Rights" the Rights of the American People.
So, in over 230 years, only 27 Amendments (17 if you don't include the American People's Bill of Rights, which were ratified in block) made it through the entire process successfully.
And BTW only one (1) Constitutional Amendment has ever been enacted to repeal another - "Nuked" as some call it - & never has a repeal of a Right of the People ever been even suggested for ratification by the American People.
The 21st Amendment, ratified in 1933, repealed the 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919, which had instituted Prohibition. You be sure to let us all know how it works out for "them", Panther Personally, I'd prefer to leave the Constitution alone on this issue of Birthright Citizenship.......
Bottom line, I'd put all my resources into keeping the illegal parents out of the US in the first place ..... then the lil taco munchers can't be born on US soil to become an 'Anchor Baby' Citizen.
Problem solved (for the most part) & the Constitution stays unblemished/unaltered. You be sure to let us all know how that works out, Panther The Constitution says who is a citizen, it doesn't say who must be permitted to stay in the USA.....Manuel & Consuelo have no legal Right to stay in the USA just because their kid is a Citizen.......The US Constitution is silent on that issue. On the other hand Congressional law can be simply modified, or changed......An Executive Order can find ways manipulate simple Congressional Law.
