Supreme Court to Hear Case on Birthright Citizenship, Impacting Trump's Policies

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court is preparing to hear arguments in a case that challenges the Trump administration's plan to end birthright citizenship. The case, scheduled for Thursday, has broad implications for the President's agenda and the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.

Birthright citizenship, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, grants citizenship to anyone born in the United States. The Trump administration has argued for a narrower interpretation of the amendment, claiming that it does not apply to children born to undocumented immigrants.

The Supreme Court's decision could significantly boost the administration's use of executive power. A ruling in favor of the administration would set a precedent for future presidents to potentially alter existing laws and policies through executive action.

Legal scholars are divided on the merits of the case. Supporters of the administration's position argue that the original intent of the 14th Amendment was not to grant citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. Opponents contend that the amendment's language is clear and unambiguous, and that any attempt to restrict birthright citizenship would violate the Constitution.

The outcome of the case is expected to have a profound impact on immigration policy and the rights of millions of people living in the United States. The decision will be closely watched by both sides of the political spectrum.
