Texas cannot, but a SCOTUS ruling on the language of the amendment could return is to its original meaning, as did Heller for the 2A.

Constitutionalists are Constitutionalists until they don't get their way.

Texas can only write in political and legal importence. Ese.

You do realize that to repeal or change the 14th amendment requires a 2/3's vote in the Senate a 2/3's vote in the Congress (super majorities) and then 38 state legislatures to approve it.

Which equates to ZERO to NO chance.

This is the pertinent clause of the 14th Amendment:

"The Citizenship Clause provides a broad definition of citizenship, overruling the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which had held that Americans descended from African slaves could not be citizens of the United States. "

Explain to me how this clause, designed to protect citizenship rights of the children of African slaves applies to Mexican Moms who take a vacation to the US so they can have a baby on American soil?

Of course it can be done, either get the court to apply actual intent to the 14th or do another amendment. Why do you think the States are once again demanding a con-con? We need to reign in the feds.

The Written amendment is fairly clear and has no language in it that could be considered FUZZY.

" All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. "

No, 2/3rds of the States can propose it, and 3/4ths of the States can ratify it, no need for congress.
