The Constitution does not allow a president to strip citizenship of someone born in the U.S. The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., and O’Donnell was born in Commack, New York.
O’Donnell, who has Irish grandparents, moved to Ireland with her daughter earlier this year following Trump's electoral win and is in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship to become a dual citizen. She cited the current political climate as a reason for her move.
"When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back," she said in a TikTok.
In March, when a reporter asked the Irish prime minister during a visit to the White House why he would allow O'Donnell to move to Ireland, Trump jumped in and said he was better off not knowing who she was.

"What do you know? It was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacists," she said.
O’Donnell later took down the video and apologized.
"I knew a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days," she said. "You are right. I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.
"I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard MO and had standard, you know, feelings of… you know, NRA-loving kind of gun people," O’Donnell continued. "Anyway, the truth is I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up. I’m sorry. This is my apology video and I hope it’s enough."
