Fox News
President-elect Trump will sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, incoming White House officials announced on Monday.
The 14th Amendment states, "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."

Some legal experts have said that such a move is a constitutional change and cannot be made by executive order. The move will almost certainly face a challenge in court from civil rights groups and immigration activists.
