Things that aren't possible, at least under current legal frameworks.
I know that laws are only as good as they're enforced and all but barring wholesale collapse I find it hard to see Donny pulling that off.
Well get ready to be surprised.
It is absolutely possible under America's legal framework. Mackenzie v Hare was the 1915 Supreme Court case, which ruled that a natural-born U.S. citizen woman could lose her citizenship by marrying a non-citizen man.
The holding functionally stood until 1967, when there was a case called Afroyim v. Rusk, where the court held that natural born citizens cannot be stripped of their citizenship involuntarily. But that was a 5-4 decision in the Warren Court, in many regards, the most liberal supreme court in history. A decision that barely won a majority in a court drastically more liberal than this one is what's standing between the US today and a world where natural born citizens can have their citizenship deemed forfeit.
I'm cool with brain drain -- if this actually happens a nice European country will happily open their doors to the educated (see Ireland, Spain already) and america will further collapse like it should.
I think there is a specific "class" of people they're going to target.
Brain drain will happen after prices skyrocket and folks are expected to wait it out. Places like Spain are cheap, but generally have a better qol than most places in America.
If European countries want to open their doors to distraught Americans I think it's a great idea because there are a lot of highly educated, highly skilled folks here that might just be done with the bs once maga really begins to churn.
