Trump Seeks to Upend Citizenship Rules at Supreme Court.

The article focuses on the Supreme Court case challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending automatic birthright citizenship, a right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Trump and some conservative scholars argue that the amendment’s citizenship clause was intended only for children of freed slaves, while opponents cite longstanding legal precedent, including the 1898 US v. Wong Kim Ark decision, affirming broad citizenship for nearly all born on U.S. soil. The case tests the conservative Court’s originalist approach to constitutional interpretation, with potential implications for millions of current and future U.S. citizens. Critics warn that Trump’s plan could strip citizenship and voting rights from many, while supporters claim new historical evidence supports a narrower reading of the amendment.
