Ratified in 1868, interpretations of the 14th Amendment have been key in extending a slew of legal protections including civil rights, same-sex marriage, abortion rights, and beyond. Here’s what you need to know. Read more: wapo.st/3OnoGzB. Subscribe to The Washington Post on KZfaq: wapo.st/2QOdcqK

I don't think babies born in the US should automatically be given citizenship. It makes no sense. The baby should be a citizen of wherever their parents are citizens.

1:12 Trump did not say we should get rid of birthright citizenship. He merely said birthright citizenship is for people subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, meaning if one of your parents are a citizen, then you are a citizen by right of birth. Excluding children of foreigners, whether you agree with that meaning or not, is not "getting rid of birthright citizenship". If it was then that would mean that nobody would have birthright citizenship, even the children of citizens, and everybody would have to be naturalized. Think about it. The courts have been corrupted and made ruling to change the constitution, which it doesn't have the authority to do. You will notice that the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 brought American Indians under the jurisdiction of the USA and the 14th amendment did not include them since they were citizens of a foreign nation. Has such an act been made by the congress to apply to foreigners, or even more extreme, to those who have invaded the united states? Would such an act even be legal, or could any sane population ever pass such an act? I don't think so. Only an imperialist enemy of the United States of America would want to destroy the country by taking away its sovereignty and the sovereignty of its citizens by advocating such an act.

@@mcgabrielrockYou have to apply for it if your parents weren't citizens. That is perfectly normal and shouldn't be rocket science. But, the idea that you could be here illegally and your children become citizens is insane. So, that isn't birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship means you get citizenship by right of birth from your parents. Do you lose birthright citizenship if your parents are citizens but your mom gives birth to you while outside the country? Of course not, because it has nothing to do with where you are born. Also, there is no such thing as "natural born" qualification for president. Anyone who is a citizen can become president. All this is nonsense and games people are playing that a little bit of logic can disprove. Also, let's say your parents aren't citizens and you want to be, great, nobody says you can't.

Okay, I realize that this theory of invoking the 14th amendment is a long and difficult shot. First, I’m thankful that at least a Republican has grown a moral compass and has taken this action. And for those who say that technically Trump himself has not been legally charged with inciting an insurrection, I would advise them to look at and honor the letter of this amendment. ‘having engaged in an insurrection or REBELLION against the same (meaning the government)’. And yes, several instigating participants have been directly charged with insurrection, and claimed Trump as the instigator, there is seriously NO DOUBT that Trump actively incited, inspired, abetted, and allowed this direct rebellion to occur. There should literally be no doubt here. I say this as a wholehearted former Republican. 😳

I'm not a fan of Trump but I recognize the severe consequences of Trump being taken off the ballet. This will be unprecedented and not in a good way. Without a conviction of insurrection, you are denying Trump the constitutionally guaranteed right of due process and you're disenfranchising tens of millions of Americans that will vote for him. The House of Representatives is the only body of government that has the ability to disqualify a person for president. The courts do NOT have this authority and neither does state executive branches because it violated the separation of powers clause. If the courts or state executive branches could throw someone off of the ballet, the judicial branch and the executive branch would get to pick and choose who becomes president and, again, those branches are not supposed to have that power over the other. Also, if Trump is removed off of the ballet, how long before Biden or others are taken off state ballets? If Trump is removed without being convicted of insurrection, what's to stop states from removing Democrats because there can be arguments made for their parts in insurrection, especially if no conviction is needed. There's a video of about 30 Democrats saying "fight" over and over again. That's sounds like insurrection to me, especially when Trump specifically said he wanted them to peacefully protest. You may think you want Trump off the ballet because you don't like him, but this does not end well for anyone if he is taken off that ballet and not allowed to run. I don't just mean the possibility of violence, but also the possibility of a political system of tit-for-tat and federal elections in states with only one party available to vote for.

The US Constitution literally says nothing about abortion. Stop misleading people. The power to make this decision has always resided with the states. The power to make decisions in reference to abortion resides with we the people, not the supreme court, and not the Federal government! That power resides solely with the voters and who they choose to vote into power within their state! The supreme Court did not make a ruling today about whether or not people can have abortions. The supreme Court merely stated that it was unconstitutional for the supreme Court to weigh in on this matter to begin with. The United States Constitution backs that decision 100%. Stop misleading people, all you're doing is causing division and hatred

@@branman399 Youre right. I realize some people dont regard fetus’s as people, but thats a whole other debate in itself. As to your second point, you could not be more wrong. As soon as a woman willingly commits intercourse, she is effectively consenting to rolling the dice of pregnancy. If they are an adult and being honest, they know what the potential consequences of sex are, and to abandon that responsibility after the consequences have manifested is tantamount to child abandonment. If the woman in question does not consent to a living being feeding off of her resources, *she should not consent to the act upon which that living being’s existence is predicated.* Also, youre mentioning of that argument actually answers the question of whether a fetus ought to be considered a person. If the organism has the capacity to absord nutrients and grow from them, *it is life.*

Voting rights are enshrined as essential and sown into the very fabric of the term "CivilRights" ... and being a citizen within and under the lawful jurisdiction of such... you are BORN with certain inalienable RIGHTS... Voting being chief among them. There is no such thing as Democracy without free citizens capable of casting a free and honest vote.

Had the Supreme Court accepted that slaves born here and their descendants WERE citizens, THEN Congress (1860s) wouldn't have had to pass something so broad that protected ALL persons born on U.S soil. (They couldn't afford to make a distinction back then because their recent past included humans brought by force by slave traders, unlike the rich Russians and Asians who now have come for decades to USA to give birth here just to have an American kid).

"We are literally one of the only countries that allows you to be a citizen just for being born here" You are literally NOT. There are 35 countries that offer "birthright citizenship". That's ≈18% of today's countries. Interestingly, most of those counties are from North America and South America (the continents, not the regions containing Minnesota and Louisiana). It's thought that this is a legacy of the colonial period, since Europeans were migrating to the "New World" en-mass and used this as a way to secure citizenship for their children. I mean, Trump's own grandfather ("Frederich Trumpf", as noted on US immigration records) ultimately immigrated into the US from Bavaria (now-Germany) just to escape conscription. Evading conscription was illegal, so the Bavarian Government landed up stripping him of his citizenship because of that. Lucky for him, the US eventually allowed him to gain citizenship in 1892 (after having first illegally immigrated into the US in 1885).
