Judge Andrew Napolitano sat down with his friends at Fox and Friends this morning to let them know why Trump's plan to end birthright US citizenship to babies whose parents are non-citizens or unauthorized immigrants is uninformed.

"Look, the president can't change the plain meaning of the Constitution with the stroke of a pen," the Fox News senior judicial analyst explained.

Earlier this week, in a clip from the upcoming Axios on HBO, Trump boasted how he would change the 14th amendment with an executive order.

This clip makes for a great explainer video not just for Trump (who needs it most), but for anyone who wants to understand how US constitutional law is supposed to work.
