A child born to those in the US legally isn't ambiguous.
As for my analogy, what if Canadians who unintentionally have a child while technically in America, don't want their child to be an American? There's lots of people who don't like America and Americans after all.
I'm pretty sure they aren't obliged to take American citizenship anyways.Well they'll raise their kid in Canada, and the child can choose to renounce their American citizenship once they become an adult. It's not that hard.

The 14th Amendment was already ratified; perhaps you mean it shows the majority are in favor of amending it. However, it really wouldn't... even if Trump won the election by a majority of the vote, it would only mean that a majority of voters voted for him. People vote for candidates for a wide variety of issues, someone winning a majority doesn't mean a majority agree with them on any specific issue. Thus it would prove absolutely nothing about their thoughts on the specific question of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.People weren't coming into the US illegally to expoit the 18th amendment.
As a side note I'll say Trump is just making an empty campaign promise in my opinion. I think if he could, he probably would, but I don't think he can. However if he becomes president, that's a good indication that the majority of American voters are in favor of ratifying the 14th Amendment.

I do not think that President Trump (47) would have the political capital to Amend the Constitution.Perhaps it's time for another update.
I don't think so either by himself. But a ratification could happen. It could be that the majority of Americans have become in favor the kinds of immigration laws and tactics espoused by Trump and DeSantis. It could be that ever since they've gotten a taste of what passive border control and passive law enforcement has lead to, they're going to want tougher standards put in place, and therefore a president who wants to put tougher standards in place. There's still over a full year for things to get worse before voters start casting ballots.I do not think that President Trump (47) would have the political capital to Amend the Constitution.
Ain’t gonna happen.
You do realize it takes a 2/3rds majority in BOTH the House and Senate to even propose an amendment and then ratification by 3/4th of the state legislatures, or do you?I don't think so either by himself.

Yes I do. The way things have been going downhill and the dissatisfaction of voters rising, the number of politicians needed might be put in office.You do realize it takes a 2/3rds majority in BOTH the House and Senate to even propose an amendment and then ratification by 3/4th of the state legislatures, or do you?
The people who constitute Trump supporters are only about 23% of the general population.Yes I do. The way things have been going downhill and the dissatisfaction of voters rising, the number of politicians needed might be put in office.
Would that be according to something like 1500 people being polled?The people who constitute Trump supporters are only about 23% of the general population.
No, no, raw numbers, 333,000,000 x .23= 76,590,000Would that be according to something like 1500 people being polled?
I'm not seeing Trump supporters are 23% of the general population on that page. Or are you going by how many votes he got last time? Besides if Biden is the only other choice, that might motivate voters and electors to pick Trump when they normally wouldn't have.No, no, raw numbers, 333,000,000 x .23= 76,590,000
