Trump signs two executive orders to narrow birthright citizenship after Supreme Court defeatWashington: US President Donald Trump signed two executive orders to narrow birthright citizenship — a new effort by the administration following the Supreme Court’s ruling against its previous order. The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, ratified in 1868, states that “all persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” On January 20, 2025 — the inauguration day of his second term — Trump signed an executive order regarding birthright citizenship. Multiple lower courts had ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, and the executive order never took effect. On June 30, the Supreme Court — by a 6-3 vote — rejected Trump’s executive order denying birthright citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants or temporary residents, upholding birthright citizenship.
