Just for discussion, what are the problems with an Executive Order like this example:
"At the signing of this Executive Order, US citizenship shall be granted at birth to children who are born to Legal US residents (who are not citizens or whatever specific language that is the standard here) or to current US citizens. Children born in the United States boundaries or territories to illegal immigrants, persons in an unlawful status, temporary workers, visitors, or diplomats (add any other classifications) occupying or residing in the United States boundaries or territories shall not be granted US citizenship at birth. "Subject to the jurisdiction therof" in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution shall apply only to Legal US Residents and Legal US Citizens in regard to birthright citizenship of children"
Now I just penned this myself...so don't rake me across the coals with legal issues that I did not see

Questions....
The subject of all this discussion is on birthright citizenship being granted to any child born on US soil by anyone practically...all about geography.
So an UNBORN person is given citizenship rights on paper based on some interpretations of the 14th? The person isn't even born yet, right? Just waiting for the birth to happen on US soil.
So how could Trump or any President do something unconstitutional through EO on the 14th to someone who doesn't even exist yet?
This is not taking away rights to someone living....this is restricting consent to someone who is not even alive at the moment of the executive order, if it were to ever happen.
Don't the Progressive liberals and democrats all say that a child is just tissue until they are actually born, without rights and personhood?
But now, by magic of the mind, these unborn children suddenly do have rights to citizenship? How do they get there through any logical reasoning?
I'm all for the right to life and protection of the unborn as a human right....but that doesn not mean they have to be granted US citizenship based on the geographic location of the physical birth.
