Here are the very rare exceptions to birthright citizenship in the US

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday on the constitutionality of President Trump's executive order eliminating birthright citizenship, a policy that challenges the 14th Amendment's 156-year-old guarantee of citizenship to all persons born in the United States. The amendment, ratified in 1868 during Reconstruction, contains a "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause that has historically been interpreted narrowly, and the case will determine whether that language allows the president to restrict citizenship at birth. Trump's order targets children born to non-citizen parents, arguing they fall outside constitutional jurisdiction—a position opposed by civil rights groups and some legal scholars who contend the clause excludes only foreign diplomats and Native Americans under tribal sovereignty. The Court's decision could affect millions of people and reshape decades of immigration and citizenship law. A ruling is expected by summer 2026.
