US Supreme Court agrees to hear lawsuit disputing automatic citizenship for those born in the US.
The top court has agreed to take on a landmark case that puts to the test a historic guarantee: automatic citizenship for those born in the United States.
On day one in office this January, the President signed an order aiming to halt this practice, but the action was struck down by the judiciary after constitutional questions were brought forward.
The Supreme Court's ultimate judgment will ultimately uphold citizenship rights for the infants of foreign nationals who are in the US illegally or on non-immigrant visas, or it will end the provision altogether.
Next, the court will set a time to hear the case between the government and claimants, which include parents who are immigrants and their newborns.
A Constitutional Cornerstone
For over a century and a half, the Fourteenth Amendment has codified the doctrine that anyone born in the United States is a citizen, with exceptions for children born to diplomats and personnel of foreign military forces.
"Anyone born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The disputed directive sought to withhold citizenship to the offspring of people who are whether in the US without legal status or are in the country on temporary visas.
The United States is among about a minority of states – largely in the Americas – that provide automatic citizenship to all those born within their borders.
