Birthright Citizenship? Can President Trump Limit a Misunderstood Portion of the 14th Amendment?
Manage episode 464077573 series 2798965
On this week's edition of Case in Point, we address one of President Trump's most controversial executive orders, titled "Protecting The Meaning And Value of American Citizenship" with Heritage Senior Legal Fellow Amy Swearer. The Order moves to end birthright citizenship practice -- something which guarantees that U.S.-born children are citizens regardless of their parents’ status.
The next day, attorneys general from 22 states sued to block the Executive Order by asserting that the President is attempting to eliminate "a well-established and longstanding Constitutional principle" by executive fiat. But is he?
What is the history of the language of the "citizenship clause" in the 14th Amendment? And what does it reveal? What happens next in the litigation? All that and more on this week's edition of "Case in Point"
