Could President Trump issue an executive order to abolish birthright citizenship?

-
Image
President Donald Trump’s recent claims that he has the authority to end birthright citizenship through an executive order have sparked a heated debate. However, most constitutional scholars argue that such an action would be unconstitutional and likely to face legal challenges. *The 14th Amendment* The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, explicitly states that “all persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ¹. This amendment was initially intended to grant citizenship to recently freed slaves, but it has also been interpreted to confer birthright citizenship on anyone born on American soil. *Supreme Court Precedents* The Supreme Court has consistently upheld the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment in numerous cases. In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the court ruled that a child born in the United States to Chin...

President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills have sparked a lively debate in Nigeria. Many experts believe that if implemented effectively, these reforms could significantly benefit the country and its citizens. The proposed reforms aim to lay the foundation for Nigeria’s fiscal policy and are based on recommendations from the Taiwo Oyedele led Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms. *Key Provisions of the Tax Reform Bills* The tax reform bills introduce several key changes to Nigeria’s tax laws. Among the notable provisions are: - *Tax Exemption for Low-Income Earners*: The proposed Nigeria Tax Bill offers tax relief to average Nigerian salary earners by exempting individuals earning below N800,000 per year from paying taxes. - *Reduced Tax Rates for Small Businesses*: The bill also proposes to exempt small businesses with annual incomes below N25 million from paying profit taxes. Additionally, the top profit tax rate for larger companies would be reduced from 30% t...

FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU 29 MAY 2023 THE NIGERIAN IDEAL My Fellow Citizens,   I stand before you honoured to assume the sacred mandate you have given me. My love for this nation is abiding. My confidence in its people, unwavering. And my faith in God Almighty, absolute. I know that His hand shall provide the needed moral strength and clarity of purpose in those instances when we seem to have reached the limits of our human capacity.   This day is bold and majestic yet bright and full of spirit, as is our precious nation.   As a nation, we have long ago decided to march beyond the dimness of night into the open day of renewed national hope.   The question we now ask ourselves is whether to remain faithful to the work inherent in building a better society or retreat into the shadows of our unmet potential.   For me, there is but one answer. We are too great a nation and too grounded as a people to rob ourselves of our finest destiny. ...
