And the 2nd amendment was for an armed milita to protect the country.

Ok, but if we want to repeal it there's a defined process for that. The president doesn't just get to declare people's citizenship invalid, that's Nazi shit. That's why I call Trump and everyone who tacitly or explicitly supports him a Nazi. He's trying to rule by executive fiat to enforce white nationalism.

If you want to repeal it, then convince your fellow citizens to do that. The president can't do it.

Someone mentioned the 2nd Amendment in this thread.
If a president stretched the limits of executive power to go after guns, half of the country would cheer for it.
The Constitution is a living document, and the line is constantly pushed back and forth on its interpretation and enforcement.

That's speculation about specuation about an undefined interpretation. We are bounded by law, including by the Constitution.

There is variation in interpretation, but within bounds. If you want to eliminate Constitutional gun rights, you would need to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
Birthright citizenship was to ensure freed slaves could not be denied citizenship.
It's served its purpose and we can repeal it and join the vast majority of nations that don't have this pathway.
