Justices to take up case amid legal fight over order to heavily restrict right to birthright citizenship in US
The US supreme court agreed on Friday to decide the legality of Donald Trump’s order to heavily restrict the right to birthright citizenship, the long-held constitutional principle that individuals born on US soil are automatically citizens, in the United States.
The justices will hear the president’s request to uphold his executive order on birthright citizenship, issued just hours after Trump took office for his second term and immediately blocked from taking effect.
The order was a contentious part of the administration’s far-reaching immigration crackdown – and a step that would transform the interpretation of a 19th-century constitutional provision.
Well, since Trump’s parents are immigrants then I guess he cant be President under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. Seems like the only logical conclusion.
Seeing as Im Native American, which at one point was 100% of the American population but is now 2%, I’ll probably know our next President or have a decent shot at it.
I’m all for giving native Americans a lopsided amount of representation in America.
