Supreme Court Hears Arguments on Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order

Washington D.C. The Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday in a case that could redefine the scope of presidential authority and immigration law. At issue is President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, a policy guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

The justices are grappling with two key questions: First, does the President have the power to unilaterally alter long-standing interpretations of the Constitution through executive action? Second, to what extent can lower courts issue nationwide injunctions that halt presidential policies?

Legal analysts say the case hinges on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause and the separation of powers doctrine. Opponents of the order argue that it violates the Constitution and exceeds the President's authority. Supporters contend that the President has broad power to regulate immigration and protect national interests.

The court's decision, expected later this year, could have profound implications for millions of people and the future of American immigration policy. The case also raises fundamental questions about the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
