Ryan's Birthright Citizenship Comments Rankle Trump

resident Donald Trump lashed out at Speaker Paul D. Ryan a day after the retiring GOP leader broke with the president over granting U.S. citizenship to any child born on U.S. soil.

“Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the [House] Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about! Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!” Trump tweeted Wednesday afternoon.

Trump contends the wording of the 14th Amendment, which grants the citizenship, gives him the authority. But Ryan said Tuesday ending the policy would require a Constitutional amendment.

Also in Trump’s way is a 1952 law that codified the amendment into the federal cannon.

Trump the man of action.
Trump the man of bold ideas.
Trump the rebel bucking his own party.

He may have even put Ryan up to it, just to show the contrast between his hero self and timid Ryan.

told one of the leaders of the legislative branch of government to shut up and defend their majority at the expense of the Constitution. Taking that order with no response is abject capitulation by lyin' Ryan.
