What Happened
The Supreme Court has narrowly upheld birthright citizenship in a 5-4 decision, a ruling that has sparked significant reactions and calls for further action. President Trump is now directing his attention to Congress, advocating for the passage of legislation aimed at ending birthright citizenship.
Following the Court's decision, Senator Rand Paul has reignited his efforts to pursue a constitutional amendment on the matter. The close vote has been interpreted by some as a signal of potential future challenges to established U.S. law.
Speaker of the House Johnson has stated that the ruling subjects the United States to "serious challenges." Justice Thomas, in his commentary on the decision, suggested that the outcome could "devalue" American citizenship.
