Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No, he can't. Not even Congress can change the Constitution without an amendment. Trump can "try" to make the claim that he can do this, but the courts will stop him.
I get that things seem bleak, but you can blame that on the media for not adequately covering all his losses in court. He has been blocked on almost everything that he's been trying to do. What he has been able to get away with, is a vastly toned-down version of what he wanted to do...and he seems unwilling to push the envelope too far. Which means he knows he won't actually get away with it.
Most of his "power", comes from lying to you about what he can and can't do. Don't give him too much credit.
Its also, little solace as it may be, against international law for a country to denaturalize any of its born citizens and leave them stateless
The USA seems to go out of its way to break international law every chance it gets like it's trying to get a high score
And has the loses in court stopped them? The courts have no enforcement arm.
It actually has stopped a lot of what they've been trying to do. They've been getting spanked in court, and it's actually pretty entertaining watching how incompetent they all are.
