Trump tells Congress limit birthright citizenship after SCOTUS blow
President Donald Trump criticized teh Supreme Court’s recent ruling against his attempt to overhaul birthright citizenship. He urged Congress to act and pass legislation to end the practice, which he described as “expensive and unfair,” despite the Court’s decision upholding the policy. Trump dismissed the idea of using a constitutional amendment, considering it unneeded, and expressed his support for legislative action. His stance contrasts with some Republican lawmakers who favor amending the Constitution to limit birthright citizenship. Trump also indicated that efforts can be made through Congress with presidential support to address the issue.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Congress to limit birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court issued a ruling rejecting his push to overhaul the policy.
Trump’s position puts him at odds with several leading lawmakers in the Republican Party, who called for a constitutional amendment to limit birthright citizenship after the justices handed down the 6-3 ruling. The president said that the “long and unwieldy” constitutional amendment strategy was “unnecessary,” and urged Congress to take up the matter otherwise.
