Donald Trump's executive orders from the first day of his second term illustrate a significant shift in the understanding of presidential power in the United States. With a focus not only on controversial policies like immigration but also a bold reassertion of presidential authority over law-making and interpretation, Trump is positioning the presidency as equal to Congress and the Supreme Court. Most notably, his order on birthright citizenship aims to redefine the Fourteenth Amendment's meaning, potentially conflicting with established Supreme Court interpretations. This demonstrates a sophisticated and strategic approach compared to his previous term.
Trump's new executive orders assert presidential power over law-making and interpretation, challenging the established roles of Congress and the Supreme Court.
The 'Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship' order redefines birthright citizenship, contradicting the longstanding interpretation under the Fourteenth Amendment.
