Ep 91 — But Can He Do That: Birthright Citizenship Edition

Date listened

Notes

Summary Donald Trump has promised to cancel birthright citizenship on Day one. But can he do that? In a word, no. We have a deep dive on the very clear law of birthright citizenship in this country (and all the ways Trump will try and ignore it). We also break down yesterday's decision and order from New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan that presidential immunity does not retroactively invalidate Trump's 34 felony convictions in New York.
