Donald Trump's executive orders, especially the one targeting birthright citizenship, have stirred significant controversy. This order seeks to eliminate the constitutional right granted by the 14th Amendment to children born in the U.S. John C. Eastman, a Trump advisor facing disbarment, has been prominent in advocating against birthright citizenship, despite being in legal opposition. His efforts to challenge this right became public with his writings in conservative media, sparking debates about immigration and constitutional law that date back to the late 19th century.
Birthright citizenship's challenge by Trump, influenced by advisor John C. Eastman, reignites a constitutional debate rooted in the 14th Amendment, adopted in 1868.
Eastman, a Trump ally faced with disbarment, argues a minority legal stance on birthright citizenship but claims leading scholars support his view.
