I would like to see it go through the amendment process and see the process in my adult life.
But we are where we are. Trump knows it likely won't get the 2/3 so he's going roundabout it by saying the 14a has being misinterpreted (see my link above to section 1 of the executive order for their stance).
My guess is it'll fail but I won't be put out if SCOTUS ruling goes either way. It's good that law are occasionally challenged (even by executive order), especially those that are from late 1800's where "context" has changed.

re: 2A, are you saying that Presidents should not try to "chip away" at established 2A rights as they have been legally interpreted today e.g. the laws as they are. Seems to me there's always some wiggle room for interpretation re: "laws as they are"
