In a move that has sparked widespread controversy and debate, President Donald Trump is set to issue two executive orders that could potentially dismantle the long-standing principle of birthright citizenship in the United States. The Constitution's 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born on US soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Trump's executive orders, which have been met with fierce opposition from Democrats and immigration advocates, aim to reinterpret the amendment's language and potentially strip citizenship from children born to undocumented immigrants. The move is seen as a key part of Trump's broader immigration agenda, but critics argue it would be a drastic and unconstitutional overreach of executive power.
President Donald Trump is again targeting constitutionally-guaranteed birthright citizenship with a pair of executive orders.
