In reply to the discussion: Trump: The 14th Amendment Won’t Hold Up In Court [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)I wonder whether Trump has ever read the 14th Amendment?
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

That's the relevant part.
His opinion on this if accurately stated in the OP probably disqualifies him from running in our country. He can go start his own country if he has enough money to buy some land, but in our country, you are a citizen if you are born or naturalized in the Unites States and subject to the jurisdiction of the US.
Trump is not qualified to talk about the Constitution on TV. He is just a joke. There isn't any argument on this point. Where are the lawyers who support him on this issue? I want their names, and I want to know how in the world they passed a state bar examination in any state in this country.
