Easy — the Constitution at the time of signing did not contemplate that Article III Courts would be the primary (yet alone sole) interpreter of provisions in the Constitution. That came later when Marbury and its progeny were decided. In 1783, there was absolutely no prohibition on the executive branch interpreting what the constitution says. Therefore, nothing prohibits the president from interpreting the provisions of the 14th Amendment’s grant of birthright citizenship.

Unless there’s evidence I’m aware of that the writers of the 14th amendment intended it to grant citizenship to the children of enemy nations illegally living inside our country, then the Executive Branch can interpret that section any way it wants.

it cannot (see marbury v madison).

seeing as congress did not amend the constitution after marbury to permit other branches to interpret the constitution, i find it very unlikely that the drafter's of the 14th intended for it to be interpreted by other branches, or the constitution generally. also wong kim ark decided this issue 127 years ago.

if you seriously think the court is going to overturn marbury and allow the executive and judicial branches to interpret the constitution separately you're insane. if anything they would just overturn wong kim ark. they're not going to overturn marbury you lunantic. obviously marbury is the correct interpretation of the judicial branch's role and the constitution drafters intent considering, you know, most of the drafters were alive in 1803 and the author john marshall pushed for virginia to ratify the constitution.

we had a long thread with lots of links to the best arguments on both sides. it's a surprisingly difficult issue. for the argument that Congress can regulate citizenship for children of parents not here legally, read up on some of Peter Schuck's work.

the only issue is that Cons are sociopaths and can do great levels of mental gymnastics to get their way.

it's nice to see that the right leaning crowd here become warren court judicial activists when disregarding the clear language of the constitution suits them.

wong kim ark already has various exceptions to birthright citizenship. i think if congress passed ordinary legislation declaring that illegal immigrants are considered enemies and their children are not entitled to birthright citizenship that SCOTUS was uphold that.

i agree it's bad policy and should be changd. but i don't think scotus should upset 125 year old precedent without any evidence it was wrongly decided in the first place. which is impossible because at the time amendments were frequently ratified and congress could have amended it or passed ordinary legislation if they felt SCOTUS got it wrong.

reminds me of when you and all the conlaw mastermen thought SCOTUS would agree Texas can independently enforce its own immigration policy by declaring an insurrection.

i don't like this outcome but it's clearly what the law demands and what the current composition of the court will go with.

children of foreign diplomats and foreign soldiers, as well as Native Americans, are subject to our jurisdiction when on our soil yet are not "subject to jurisdiction" in the meaning of that phrase.

yes but there are specific statutes for native americans and diplomats outlining the carve outs for their jurisdiction that includes this. the enemy combatant one is an obvious exception. and there's nothing in the immigration code that carves this it out. that's why i think it's unlikely that scotus will overturn a longstanding precedent, but might without a constitutional amendment with ordinary legislation.

i do think it's possible and reasonable for the court include illegals under the foreign soldier exception. however i doubt it'll happen with the current composition. it would be penumbraing the 14th as the text and precedent pretty plainly supports birthright.

i wish the gop would just get rid of the filibuster and pass legislation. the real root of the issue, and most others, is that congress isn't functional, leaving us to rely on the executive and judicial branches to exercise powers they don't have.
