A cute kid gets the first question: What would Vivek do first if he becomes president. Vivek says he'd use executive order to kill birthright citizenship.

No questions about imperial encroachment or the rise in bad daedra worship. Vivek is once again dodging the important issues.

I don't know much about the guy, but is he actually that dumb? like, No, my dude, I don't think you can negate the Constitution by decree. 0_0

He would not be eligible to run for president if not for birthright citizenship. And I remain unconvinced that you can kill a Constitutional Amendment via executive order.

Outside of the Americas, birthright citizenship isn't really a thing. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.

We need to find a better media framing for people like this than treating them as a joke

So the first act of a guy with birthright citizenship would be to unconstitutionally end birthright citizenship.

I'm sure he knows that doesn't work, but it's telling that he thinks it's a good pitch for the MAGA set.

I love how he could say something human to a child like ā€œIā€™d promise to do my bestā€ and instead nope! He goes full red meat
