President-elect Donald Trump revealed in an interview over the weekend that he plans on ending birthright citizenship in the U.S., a right protected by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. But despite his confidence about implementing the measure on his first day in office, an expert says he will face tough legal hurdles to do so.
The President-elect has been vocal about his opposition to birthright citizenship, falsely noting that the U.S. is the only country that offers it despite other nations like Brazil and Canada also having that right enshrined.
