"Trump signs executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship"
The government contends the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause was adopted to grant citizenship to newly freed slaves and their children, not to children of temporary visitors or illegal aliens. The contention appears in a petition for a Writ of Certiorari seeking Supreme Court review. The petition asks the Court to overrule a lower court ruling that issued a nationwide injunction on the president's executive order earlier this year. The president signed an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. The dispute centers on constitutional interpretation of birthright citizenship and its application to children born to noncitizen visitors and unauthorized immigrants.
