4:34Now PlayingThe Supreme Court will hear a case that could redefine the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship, a protection created after the Civil War to ensure that formerly enslaved people and their children would be recognized as full citizens. For more than a century, the rule has been clear. If you are born in the United States, you are an American, a principle the Court affirmed in 1898 in United States v Wong Kim Ark. Now the Court will review Donald Trump’s executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship for certain children born here, raising the question of whether a president can undo a constitutional promise without an amendment or action from Congress. The outcome will determine whether citizenship remains automatic and secure or becomes conditional based on a child’s parentage. It could place millions in legal uncertainty or reaffirm a fundamental belief that America does not create second class children.
