* [https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1677296020860829696 We live in a constitutional *Republic*, not a direct democracy. I favor ending birthright citizenship for those whose parents entered the country *illegally* because we shouldn’t reward those who violate the law with the intent of exploiting the citizenship rules. That’s not what our Founding Fathers envisioned. Further, no one born in this country - whether 1st generation or 5th generation - should automatically inherit the full privileges of citizenship until they *earn* those privileges: every 18-year-old should have to pass the same civics test required of naturalized citizens, or else serve the country for 6 months in a military or first responder role, before earning the full privileges of citizenship. As our Founding Fathers envisioned, we must have skin in the game to play in the game: civic privileges come with civic duties attached. That’s not “extreme,” that’s just what it means to be a true citizen of a Republic. I favor amending the Constitution accordingly.] | * [https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1677296020860829696 We live in a constitutional *Republic*, not a direct democracy.
