In reply to the discussion: Ending birthright citizenship would make almost EVERY ONE OF US an illegal alien. [View all]osteopath6
(153 posts)48. It seems the rules are "sort of" applying
Just being "clarified" which sadly has a history. The EPA, ATF among others write their own form of administrative law. They interpret the statutes, issue complex and sometimes contradictory findings, and it has been generally backed by the courts.
They justify it on giving the executive leeway in executing the laws passed by congress.
Personally I think if a law is that complicated it should be held until clarificatiom. It would serve as a much stronger check on the unitary executive.

It really doesn't take much cleverness to reckon that the courts may not decide the matter instantly

It will likely apply to people born next week and people born today. I have to read the order again.

He would need to write another EO for it to change to another date. That is the specific wording from the order.

Okay but that's not the outcome they're working for, nor the one they will effect

I suspect your comment reflects a belief I am attempting to co-opt the disaster that's about to befall

I don't believe so. Such a thing did not exist before the Revolution, and it wasn't a thing until it suited the FF.
