Trump to seek review of U.S. Supreme Court birthright citizenship ruling

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his intention to seek a reconsideration of a Supreme Court ruling that rejected his effort to restrict birthright citizenship for individuals born in the United States. Trump characterized the court's late June decision as "crazy" and stated he would pursue a review of the judgment.

The Supreme Court's ruling upheld the principle of birthright citizenship, a long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Trump's administration had previously sought to challenge this principle, arguing for a narrower definition that could potentially deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are not U.S. citizens or legal residents.

A request for reconsideration of a Supreme Court decision is an uncommon legal maneuver. Such petitions are granted very infrequently. To proceed, the request must be formally submitted within a strict 25-day window following the court's initial decision. The likelihood of the court agreeing to rehear the case remains low.
