Very few other countries offer this and none of our peer democracies do (that I'm aware, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but even then we're talking about a rarity). And it's something heavily abused. What worked for the first part of American history doesn't mean it has to always be the case going forward. After all, slavery was legal for the first 90 years of the United States, right? The world has changed and I'm pretty confident that the founding fathers alive today would not be in favor of birthright citizenship.
Yes, agree it should be changed with constitutional amendments rather than EO. But am aware of the political near-impossibility even if most people would agree to it.
Agree, we also don't need 2A anymore. Let's go through the Constitution, starting with #1 on up and get rid of the ones that don't apply anymore.
