Can a US president decide who becomes an American citizen? That constitutional question reached the US Supreme Court after President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14160 seeking to restrict automatic birthright citizenship for some children born in the United States.
Supporters argued the order addressed illegal immigration and birth tourism. Opponents said it violated the Fourteenth Amendment, which has guaranteed birthright citizenship for more than 150 years. The legal battle centred on the meaning of one key constitutional phrase: "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
This video explains how the dispute unfolded, from the origins of the Fourteenth Amendment following the Civil War to the landmark United States v. Wong Kim Ark ruling that shaped modern citizenship law. It also examines the arguments presented before the Supreme Court, why the majority rejected the executive order, and what the ruling means for the future of birthright citizenship in the United States.
The video also includes House Speaker Mike Johnson's reaction to the ruling and explains why changing birthright citizenship would now require a constitutional amendment rather than another executive order.
