In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump Says He'd Denaturalize US Citizens 'In a Heartbeat' [View all]AcanthaV
(26 posts)41. The 14th Amendment isn't optional Citizenship is a right, not a reward.
This is a direct assault on the 14th Amendment. Citizenship isn't a subscription service that the President can cancel because he doesn't like your 'attitude' or where you came from. Once you are naturalized, you are an American, period. The idea of using denaturalization as a political tool is a slippery slope toward a two-tiered citizenship system.
