““No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support!””
Donald Trump, President

President Donald Trump responded after the Supreme Court struck down his executive order restricting birthright citizenship, a 6-3 ruling that found the order violated the 14th Amendment. In a social media post, Trump urged Congress to pass legislation ending the policy instead of pursuing a constitutional amendment, promising his full backing. The order would have denied automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. However, any legislative effort faces steep obstacles: Republicans lack the 60 Senate votes needed to overcome a filibuster, and a constitutional amendment requires two-thirds approval in both chambers plus ratification by three-fourths of states. The ruling represents a significant legal defeat for one of Trump’s core immigration initiatives.
