GREGG JARRETT: President Trump has a valid argument on birthright citizenship
Fox News
President Donald Trump has a credible argument for getting rid of birthright citizenship, but the issue will ultimately be decided by the courts.
Gregg Jarrett is a Fox News legal analyst and commentator, and formerly worked as a defense attorney and adjunct law professor. His recent book, "The Trial of the Century," about the famous "Scopes Monkey Trial" is available in bookstores nationwide or can be ordered online at the Simon & Schuster website. Jarrett’s latest book, "The Constitution of the United States and Other Patriotic Documents," was published by Broadside Books, a division of HarperCollins on November 14, 2023. Gregg is the author of the No. 1 New York Times best-selling book "The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump." His follow-up book was also a New York Times bestseller, "Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History."
The various state attorneys general who are suing dismissed his action as a flagrantly unlawful assault on the Constitution, while confidently assuring us that the president’s order would be struck down in court under the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment.
