Executive orders can’t overturn constitutional provisions

A FactCheck.org article by Uzma Afreen debunking speculations that Trump’s proposed immigration policy would put his youngest son’s citizenship status in question quotes Professor Kermit Roosevelt, member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty. Absent a constitutional amendment, Trump cannot overturn birthright citizenship, Prof. Roosevelt explains.

Kermit Roosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at Penn Carey Law School. He is also a member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty. Read his bio here.
