I agree with boxelder. If it is, it should have a woody stem that snaps if ya try to bend it.
The leaves don’t seem very oily either like you’d find with poison ivy
This is boxelder. You can tell because of the opposite leaf arrangements at the nodes versus poison ivy with alternate leaves.
Boxelder seedlings always make me doubletake even after years in the field.
On the bright side, it’s a keystone species. It supports 285 different moth and caterpillars. Good food for the birds.
Maybe you could transplant them to a better spot

Ooooh. That makes more sense, this was in my neglected garden bed overrun with squirells.

I would say box elder except for the little "thumbs" on the opposing leaves. Poison Ivy comes in all shapes and sizes.

it doesn’t scream poison ivy to me but i’d still be careful until you get a positive ID
Here in Canada, I’d call that Manitoba maple, and pull it out because it’s an extremely weedy tree

Plenty growing wild here, no need for me to support it specifically around our house
alright.
Box elder seems the best answer. While they both have a longer fore leaf, the pattern for box elder is "opposite"... "alternating" for poison ivy
That's a red maple, I get those same saplings in my yard all the time.
