But the president, by the terms of the Constitution, does have authority and is obligated to, take care that the Laws be faithfully executed, such as repelling invasions, and making certain the 14th Amendment is adhered to, which includes only those children born on American soil who are subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are granted citizenship at birth.
So, at this point in time, and considering the terms of our Constitution and the preponderance of evidence ___ the “legislative intent” of the 14th Amendment, as stated during the framing of the 14th Amendment ___ the President would be acting within his constitutionally authorized powers, to repel the ongoing invasion of our southern border and issuing an executive order to not recognize for federal purposes, children born on American soil whose mother is not an American citizen.
And let us not forget what our Supreme Court has already stated with regard to the 1st Section of the 14th Amendment:
’This section contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two sources only,-birth and naturalization. The persons declared to be citizens are ‘all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ The evident meaning of these last words is, not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance ___ Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94 (1884)
The fact is, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” as found in the 14th Amendment, is designed to deny citizenship to a child born to a foreign national who enters our country and gives birth, unless the mother has been naturalized and takes our countries “Oath of Allegiance”. Doing so, makes that person “subject to the Jurisdiction” of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment.
See our Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
Haven taken the above oath, one becomes subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment.

Those who reject abiding by the text of our Constitution and the intentions and beliefs under which our Constitution was agree to, as those intentions and beliefs may be documented from historical records, wish to remove the anchor and rudder of our constitutional system so they may then be free to “interpret” the Constitution to mean whatever they wish it to mean.
