Trump calls on Congress to end birthright citizenship after Supreme Court loss
Trump said Congress could change birthright citizenship after the court ruled 6-3 that children born in the United States to undocumented or temporary-status parents are citizens.
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down Donald Trump's executive order, holding that children born in the United States are citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment.
- The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, enshrines birthright citizenship, a principle the Supreme Court upheld while rejecting the administration's attempt at an executive rewrite.
- Alito noted the United Kingdom took a legislative path by passing the British Nationality Act, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued Congress could potentially change the law.
- Any attempt to alter birthright citizenship requires a Constitutional Amendment, a process involving a Constitutional Convention or Congress, presenting significant procedural barriers to changing the Amendment.
- Claiming he and his allies could "easily make it up in Congress through Legislation," Trump downplayed the court's "loss" and touted a "trick" to upend birthright citizenship.
