In this episode of Faithful Politics, host Will Wright sits down with Professor Henry Chambers from the University of Richmond School of Law to unravel the complexities of birthright citizenship, constitutional law, and executive power. From the origins of the 14th Amendment to modern challenges posed by Donald Trump’s recent executive orders, Professor Chambers provides a deep legal analysis on what it means to be an American. The discussion explores how birthright citizenship has evolved, Supreme Court cases that have defined it, and the unitary executive theory that shapes presidential authority. Along the way, they discuss Trump's recent actions, the impoundment of funds, and the broader implications of unchecked presidential power. This episode is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand the legal and political battles shaping America's future.
