He also lied and claimed that "no other country in the world" allows birthright citizenship.
But if this makes it to the Supreme Court, they could just rubber stamp it.
Let's not forget that it's a Constitutional Amendment that limits presidents to 2 terms (after FDR was elected to 4 terms). I'm guessing he'll try to Executive-Order that amendment out of existence in around 2023 or 2024.

Changing constitutional amendments will not happen via executive order and supreme court. If the orange chucke-fuck can get the amendment to the constitution off the ground, that amendment must be ratified by the legislatures of 3/4 of the states or by state ratifying conventions of 3/4 of the states.
The constitution simply cannot be fucked with like that. Our founders set it up that way for a reason.
