Confirmed: Trump to Ask Supreme Court to Revisit Birthright Citizenship Again

President Donald Trump announced he will formally request the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its rejection of his executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship. The court's majority previously ruled the order unconstitutional, citing the Fourteenth Amendment, which grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States.

Trump labeled the court's decision a "judicial error" and vowed to seek a new hearing immediately. "American citizenship is not for sale. In fact, that is a crime, and therefore the Supreme Court's ruling is incorrect," Trump stated via his social media platform, Truth Social.

American citizenship is not for sale. In fact, that is a crime, and therefore the Supreme Court's ruling is incorrect. I will immediately request a new hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court.

This move follows the court's late June decision that struck down a key component of Trump's immigration policy. The ruling affirmed that individuals born on U.S. soil are automatically granted citizenship, provided they are subject to its jurisdiction.

Simultaneously, Republicans in Congress are advancing a legislative measure to address birthright citizenship. Representative John McGuire III of Virginia introduced the "Birthright Citizenship Clarification Act." This bill seeks to amend Section 301(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which currently grants automatic citizenship to those born in the U.S. The proposed legislation aims to restrict this right under specific circumstances, with McGuire arguing that "American citizenship is a privilege and an honor that must be protected."
