No provision of the US Constitution can be legally overturned by a presidential decree.

    Try knowing what words mean before you use them.

      The Constitution restricts the power of the government. In this case, the 14th Amendment was created to restrict the power of the Supreme Court, which had already ruled that former slaves were not US citizens.

      Don’t lecture me about knowing what words mean, when you don’t even know why the 14th Amendment exists.

            You don’t need to rebut basic fact, reality is not a debate.

              Scott vs Sandford decision led directly to the 13th and 14th amendment which overruled that same decision.

              The due process clause of the 14th amendment prohibited local governments of depriving citizens from life, liberty or property without a due process.

              So yeah, 14th amendment does restrict the government, and has been made to overrule the Scott vs Sandford Supreme Court ruling.

                Hey.

                Morons.

                Look up the words you’re using.

                  What’s the saying ? “Don’t argue with stupid people, they will bring you down to their level and win with experience”.

                  Applies here. No arguments, just personal attacks.
