Mary Trump - American Birthright Still intact

One of the more revealing moments in Washington this morning did not happen during oral arguments or after the Supreme Court. It happened in real time when Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, while speaking to reporters, learned that the Court had just handed down its decision on birthright citizenship.

Johnson: As a constitutional lawyer, I got lots of opinions on this. Okay. Understand what the framers did and when we added this to our constitutional order, I understood what the intent was. I think anybody who looks at this... Oh, dear. What they rule?


The reporter then informed Johnson of the Court’s ruling.

Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and are citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment Citizenship Clause.
