"Sauer argued that the general understanding of citizenship is inaccurate and that children of noncitizens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. and therefore do not benefit from the Constitution."
"He added: And the key point we make there is that the word reside, if you look at, for example, Section 1473 of Justice Story's Commentaries, was understood to mean domicile."
"Sauer said, 'the very text of the clause itself presupposes that the citizen is domiciled in the United States. If they're a resident of any state at all, they reside there.'"
During Supreme Court oral arguments, Chief Justice John Roberts showed skepticism towards the Trump administration's challenge to a ruling on birthright citizenship. Solicitor General John Sauer contended that the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted, asserting that children of noncitizens are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction and thus do not qualify for citizenship. Sauer emphasized that the Constitution's language implies that citizenship requires domicile in the U.S., arguing that the term 'reside' in the clause supports this interpretation.
