In a move that surprised no one, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to hurl insults at Democrats, accusing them of being “Radical Left SleazeBags” who have “totally lost their confidence and reason.” And what inspired all that vitriol? Democrats are simply asking the Supreme Court to protect birthright citizenship, as protected under the Constitution.
For some context, Trump’s executive order, signed on January 20, 2025, seeks to deny U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil to undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas. This move challenges the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which grants citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States.”
