    Yup, I understand that. But he would have to get alignment from the few moderate republicans and senators in border states to start revoking citizenship. The GOP will have a slim majority and it will have its Joe Manchin to contend with. Old school republicans like Collins, Murkowski, Curtis are going to have a LOT of power.

    Moreover, if you start kicking Americans out of America, that shit is going to be a media cluster fuck. New immigrants and kids of immigrants that voted for Trump will be forced ask “who’s next?”

      What does he care? He’s not getting elected again. If he has a third term, it’ll be through systemic manipulation, not election.

      Congress doesn’t need gubernatorial support to denaturalize. They can use the Naturalization Act of 1906 to change the requirements for qualifying for or maintaining naturalization, allowing for immediate revocation of citizenship and subsequent deportation.

      ”there must be strict compliance with all the congressionally imposed prerequisites to the acquisition of citizenship. Failure to comply with any of these conditions renders the certificate of citizenship ‘illegally procured,’ and naturalization that is unlawfully procured can be set aside.”

        What the fuck does the law matter when they’ll literally just be deporting people by the millions and not letting them back in?

          I’m referring to denaturalizing existing citizens to be deported, which has been an unused congressional power since 1906.
