Counting the Votes in the Supreme Court’s Birthright Citizenship Decision
President Trump's Executive Order No. 14160 targeted U.S.-born persons based on their mothers' immigration status, but the Supreme Court in Trump v. Barbara ruled the Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship to both categories. The Court's decision was initially described as 5-4, but the article argues the actual constitutional opposition may be broader. Rep. John McGuire introduced H.R. 9633 to amend federal law, aligning with the executive order, while the article challenges the perceived judicial vulnerability of birthright citizenship.
