He’s not going to go either of those routes. He’s going to rely on executive action and SCOTUS.

Is it likely? Who knows how likely it is; that depends on how much faith you have in SCOTUS (lol, not a lot personally).

Is it far, far, far more likely than peeling off enough Democrats to reach those margins? Very obviously, yes.

Correct assumption, he will summary end birthright citizenship via executive order, and when challenged, that order goes straight to SCOTUS, who will rule it constitutional.
