New documents show how passport and Social Security rules would change to enforce Trump’s birthright citizenship order

After months of avoiding details about a divisive plan to end birthright citizenship, President Donald Trump’s administration is rolling out a series of new documents that offer a stark glimpse into how it would implement an executive order that upends the century-old understanding about the benefits of being born in the United States.

The trove of documents from half a dozen federal agencies in recent days are a direct result of a blockbuster Supreme Court decision last month that allowed the administration to develop plans for ending birthright citizenship – even though the effort has once again been placed on hold.

Under those guidance documents, parents of newborns – including US citizens – might be required to jump through additional hoops to verify their own immigration status to obtain a passport or Social Security number for their children.

Among the documents made public in recent days is one from the State Department that explains how officials would be required to “request original proof of parental citizenship or immigration status” to proceed with processing a passport application. “This information will be necessary to determine if those applying for a passport are U.S. citizens,” the three-page document reads.

1. Sickening

Obviously if dear leader throws something out the followers will scurry about....attempting to move heaven and earth to "make it so".

They will roll over anyone and everyone to just do it. What I haven't understood is their thinking on identifying "parents". What if the mother doesn't know who the father is. What if the baby isn't a product of consensual sex. Or, any other combination of factors.

However, my main question is....do they intend to make it retroactive? Another way to strip more classes of people of their citizenship?

2. How, in the name of common human decency...

... can ANY president willfully, and with malice aforethought, abrogate an Amendment to the Constitution with just the flourish of a Sharpie?
Does this rancid shitsicle not realize that members of his immediate family will be at risk? Oh, right. We are talking about Donald J. Trump, the Prince of Darkness, and his most evil of minions, Nosferatu Miller, neither of whom give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.
