But isn't it a constitutional amendment? How do you change a constitutional amendment?
From Axios:
"It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't," he said.So he's gonna do it by Executive Order.
An executive order to rewrite a constitutional amendment.
Weren't there scads of hand-wringing republicans screeching only a few years ago about the executive overreach they saw when the Obama Administration wanted school lavatories to be gender neutral or when it tried to deal with carbon regulations?
They just wouldn't shut up about the tyranny of Obama's executive overreach.
And now?

To quote the Democrats, No amendment is absolute when it comes to enacting common sense migration reform.
2010: “Obama has to override the the Congress because the Republicans won’t work with him” 2018: THE CONSTITUTION IS A SACROSANCT DOCUMENT THAT CANNOT BE ALTERED!!!!!
