In the Media
Bennett Gershman, professor of law at Pace University, told Newsweek: "Trump's Executive Order seeking to outlaw so called Birthright Citizenship is itself unlawful and will be easily struck down. "Mr. Trump may not like the constitutional rule. But however much he would like to, he does not have the power to flout the Constitution. He would need to get Congress and the states to amend the constitution to implement his objective."
