5:31 pm
th u.s. i think it is fair to say that it is widelyssumed by scholars that if you're born in the united states, you're a citizen. and the cstitution is fairly ambiguous. i should add there are some legalcholars who think congress could change the law. but i haven't heard anyon say that you could do this by executive order or indeed, that there's any congress could change the law. today the chairman of the senate jish committee seemed to say maybe this is something congress could look at. but nobody seems to think you can do this by executive order. even though the president said his legals advis have said that he could. >> could the new land scape at the supreme court?o th >> i think if he tried to do this by executive order, the clorts toss it out in a second. including the supreme court. the only prospecthat i hav
5:32 pm
heard anybody seriously consider is the question of whether congress could change t law. if congress tried to do that, then it is an interesting legal question. then again, i think the weight of the authority would be on the side of the people who say you can't do this. even by an act of >>congress. and the president's problem is illegal i over pregnant and having a baby. he thinks because they're illegal, that they should not be under the jurisdiction of this amendment. >> right. the issue is parents who are both here illegally. but the supreme court in a previous ruling said that the children of illegal aliens who are present in the country still have the right of access to a public education because they're subject to the jurisdiction and protection of the constitution. so would it stheem question has been answered. >> we have an update to a story we brought from you the city
