“Paul Ryan should focus on holding the majority rather than opining on birthright citizenship, something he knows nothing about. Our new Republican majority will be focused on working on this to close immigration loopholes and secure our border,” Trump wrote on his microblog. Twitter 31 October.

Ryan's office did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump said in an interview with Axios that planning to sign an executive order to end the practice of allowing children of non-American citizens who are born in the United States to obtain American citizenship.
After that, Ryan, who will resign at the end of this year, said that the signing of such a decree would be contrary to the US Constitution.
“You can't revoke birthright citizenship by executive order. We didn't like it when Obama tried to change immigration laws through executive orders, and obviously as conservatives we believe in the Constitution,” Ryan said.
According to the 14 th amendment to the US Constitution, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and within their jurisdiction are citizens of the United States and the state in which they live."
If the president signs a decree abolishing this provision, he is likely to face lawsuits and attempts to challenge him. And many legal experts believe that the court will not be on the side of the president.
“We have a situation here where the text of the Constitution is quite clear, and the Supreme Court interpreted it that way. So the president's claim that he can somehow overturn the text of the amendment and Supreme Court precedent by executive order is quite extravagant,” said Garrett Epps, a constitutional law professor at the University of Baltimore.
