Abstract

The article focuses on the Supreme Court case challenging President Donald Trump's executive order aiming to end automatic birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to nearly all born on U.S. soil. Trump and some conservative scholars argue the amendment was intended only for children of freed slaves, a position that contrasts with longstanding legal precedent, including the 1898 US v. Wong Kim Ark decision affirming broad birthright citizenship. Opponents, including Democrats and immigrant advocates, contend the order is unconstitutional and would strip citizenship from millions. The case tests the conservative Court's originalist approach to constitutional interpretation and may hinge on historical evidence about the amendment’s intent. [Extracted from the article]
