Trump’s Remarks on Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship Spark Legal Debate
President Donald Trump’s recent statement about potentially “taking away” the U.S. citizenship of actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell has sparked controversy and raised questions about the legality of such an action.
Decades-Long Feud Fuels Latest Controversy
The statement comes amidst a long-standing, highly publicized feud between Trump and O’Donnell. The two have exchanged barbs for years, often through social media and public appearances. This latest incident reignites the conflict and adds a new layer of complexity.
Legal Experts Cite Supreme Court Ruling as Roadblock
Legal experts point to a Supreme Court ruling from decades ago that clearly prohibits the government from revoking the citizenship of a natural-born citizen. This precedent seemingly contradicts Trump’s suggestion and raises questions about the potential legal challenges such a move would face.
