MEDIA: Tracking Birthright Citizenship Is Harder Than It Seems

Newsweek's Dan Gooding on whether Little Marco Rubio has a plan to
stop State.GOV from issuing American passports to the America-born
children of non-Americans:

| President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 20,
| aiming to redefine birthright citizenship. The president wants to
| narrow the definition of the right enshrined in the 14th Amendment,
| so that it only applies to children with at least one parent who is
| a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
|
| The move is facing multiple legal challenges, which have halted the
| plan for now. Opponents argue that birthright citizenship has
| applied to nearly all babies born in the U.S. for over 150 years.
| Only children of foreign diplomats and military tend to be exempt.

Has Donald Trump ordered Elon Musk's DOGE.GOV to recommend a solution
for Rubio's State.GOV and RFK Jr's SSA.GOV?
