It’s On: Supreme Court to Hear Birthright Citizenship Case

The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments today on the legality of President Trump’s executive order that aims to put an end to birthright citizenship. It’s a move that’s got a lot of people pretty worked up, and for good reason – if it goes through, it’ll be a drastic change to how we define citizenship in this country.

What’s At Stake

Trump’s order won’t affect people who are already citizens, but it will impact those born to non-citizen parents in the US. The question is, does the president have the authority to make such a drastic change without congressional approval? It’s a pretty ridiculous idea, if you ask me – I mean, who doesn’t know that being born here makes you a citizen? But hey, that’s why we have the Supreme Court, right? To figure out what’s what and put an end to this nonsense.
