Speech #780113607

Speaking as a lawyer. and I think you will agree with me. I do not see how we can take away the birthright of any individual by legislation alone. for to do that would be to take away some of the rights guaranteed him under the Constitution. It is easy enough to take care of an alien or a naturalized citizen. but I doubt very much whether it would beconstitutional to do what these gentlemen seek to do in the bills they have introduced. Mr. Speaker. let me say. as chairman of this committee. that I am more than happy to cooperate with the membership of this House.
