GOP Attack On Constitution Begins at 14th Amendment
The 14th Amendment to the United States constitution has become inconvenient for nativist Republicans, so one GOP Congressman proposes ditching the birthright clause. But due process and equal protection are also in the 14th, and the GOP isn’t happy with those clauses either, so expect more challenges to the 14th by Repubs in the future.

1. yeah if you don't like the rules, then change them
I highly recommend moving as an alternative, to say, Afghanistan, or Somalia where those pesky amendments aren't even a twinkle in humanity's eyes.
