Note that the Wong Kim Ark ruling based birthright citizenship on the status of his parents when born, who were
lawfully domiciled in the United States. Our current statutory wording for lawfully domiciled is
lawful permanent residence (LPR)

And, as expressed under existing statutory law see:
A. General Requirements for Acquisition of Citizenship at Birth
In general, a person born outside of the United States may acquire citizenship at birth if all of the following requirements are met at the time of the person’s birth:
The person is a child[2] of a U.S. citizen parent(s);
The U.S. citizen parent meets certain residence or physical presence requirements in the United States or an outlying possession before the person’s birth in accordance with the applicable provision;[3] and
The person meets all other applicable requirements under either INA 301 or INA 309.

Considering the current recognition of birthright citizenship granted to the offspring of an illegal entrant foreign national is nothing more than
unwritten “policy”, President Trump has a number of options to put an end to birthright citizenship being recognized for the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil. See:
Here’s how Pres. Trump can end Birthright Citizenship…
YES! Trump can end fraudulent birthright citizenship being bestowed on the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals.

“If aliens might be admitted indiscriminately to enjoy all the rights of citizens at the will of a single state, the Union might itself be endangered by an influx of foreigners, hostile to its institutions, ignorant of its powers, and incapable of a due estimate of its privileges." - Joseph Story
That's not true.
XVI Amendment.
Section I.
Section 1
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 State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Please read the above text. Nowhere in the 14th. Amendment, Section 1 is the nationality of birth parents discussed. Simply put, any child born in the United States of America is a citizen by birthright.
Nor Felon47, by cannot a stroke pen amend the Constitution of The United States. That power does NOT rest with the President. The Amendment process can be done in one of two methods.
Method I.
Method 1: Congress Proposes an Amendment
An amendment to the Constitution may be proposed by any member of the
House of Representatives or the
Senate and will be considered under the
standard legislative process in the form of a joint resolution.
In addition, as ensured by the
First Amendment, all American citizens are free to petition Congress or their state legislatures to amend the Constitution.
To be approved, the amending resolution must be passed by a two-thirds
supermajority vote in both the House and the Senate.
Given no official role in the amendment process by Article V, the
president of the United States is not required to sign or otherwise approve the amending resolution. Presidents, however, typically express their opinion of proposed amendments and may attempt to persuade Congress to vote for or against them.
States Ratify the Amendment
If approved by Congress, the proposed amendment is sent to the governors of all 50 states for their approval, called “ratification.” Congress will have specified one of two ways by which the states should consider ratification:
- The governor submits the amendment to the state legislature for its consideration; or
- The governor convenes a state ratifying convention.
If the amendment is ratified by three-fourths (currently 38) of the state legislatures or ratifying conventions, it becomes part of the Constitution.
Congress has passed six amendments that never received ratification by the states. The most recent was to give full voting rights to the District of Columbia, which expired unratified in 1985.
Method 2: The States Demand a Constitutional Convention
Under the second method of amending the Constitution prescribed by Article V, if two-thirds (currently 34) of the state legislatures vote to demand it, Congress is required to convene a full constitutional convention.
Just as in the
Constitutional Convention of 1787, delegates from every state would attend this so-called “Article V Convention” for the purpose of proposing one or more amendments.
Though this more momentous method has never been used, the number of states voting to demand a constitutional amending convention has come close to the required two-thirds on several occasions. The mere threat of being forced to surrender its control of the constitutional amendment process to the states has often prompted Congress to preemptively propose amendments itself.
Felon47 stated his opinion, but he cannot amend the constitution. He ain't got that power.
