Supreme Court appears skeptical of Trump administration birthright citizenship arguments

The Supreme Court heard arguments on President Trump's executive order challenging birthright citizenship, with justices appearing dubious of the administration's legal position during the hearing. The executive order targets the constitutional guarantee of citizenship to children born in the U.S., a provision rooted in the 14th Amendment adopted after the Civil War. The Court's skepticism suggests the justices may be inclined to reject or narrow the administration's attempt to redefine who automatically qualifies for citizenship at birth. The case represents a major constitutional clash over immigration policy and the scope of presidential power to reinterpret longstanding citizenship law. A decision will reshape eligibility for millions of Americans and define the boundaries of executive authority on one of Trump's signature policy priorities.
