Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of President Donald Trump’s biggest allies in the Senate, is wholeheartedly endorsing the President’s desire to scrap birthright citizenship, though it seems that he does not share Trump’s belief that it can be done with an executive order.

Trump vocalized his plan during an Axios interview, though he is adamant that the right, currently enshrined in the 14th Amendment, can be nullified by him alone. That does not seem to be the case.
