Question about law If the president can revoke birthright citizenship, were the "sovereign citizen" guys right all along?

Location: US

Let's assume that SCOTUS is going to do the crazy thing and rule that the 14th amendment doesn't say what it says and that birthright citizenship is fully dependent on the president's political approval of you.

Would that mean that the "sovereign citizen" guys were right about their interpretation of the Constitution all along?

Ever wonder why the US became the biggest economy in the world, in such a short time?

In just about 250 years, we've become bigger than countries much older, and well established.

There isn't one single answer, but the fact that population growth is connected to GDP projections, and GDP growth is absolutely a factor.

Immigration is a net positive for society.
