In late June [music] 2026,0:18the Supreme Court struck down the0:20previous broader attempt to eliminate0:22birthright citizenship, BBC News0:24reported, and the two new orders signed0:26Thursday represent [music] a narrower0:27curbing attempt now facing the same0:29court. Illisman said the 14th Amendment0:32applies to all children born in the0:33United States and subject [music] to its0:35jurisdiction, excluding only groups like0:37diplomats with diplomatic immunity,0:39drawing the narrow exception the0:41Constitution is understood to [music]0:42allow. President Donald Trump controls0:44the executive action now under0:45challenge, while Steve Miller has framed0:48the administration's view of that0:49constitutional history and the court's0:51rejection.0:56>> [music]0:57>> Steve Miller said the 14th Amendment was0:59created after the Civil War for the1:01babies of slaves, and he called the1:03Supreme Court decision very unfortunate1:05and said birthright citizenship is very1:07unfair. The practical [music] stakes are1:09immediate. Children born on US soil who1:12have been treated as citizens at birth1:14would face case-by-case challenges to1:15that status,1:16>> [music]1:16>> forcing parents to prove jurisdiction1:18and requiring hospitals and federal1:20agencies to determine citizenship at the1:22moment of birth rather than by place of1:23birth alone. The most consequential1:25unresolved question is whether this1:27narrower curbing attempt survives the1:29same court that rejected the broader1:31elimination weeks earlier, [music]1:32whether judges accept a limited reading1:34of subject to the jurisdiction thereof1:36or strike it down again as an1:37impermissible restriction on birthright1:39citizenship.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗
