It relays Trump\u2019s prediction that the supreme Court will likely rule against his executive order restricting citizenship to babies born only to peopel legally in the United States, arguing the court will reach the wrong conclusion. This comes in the context of a 6-3 supreme Court decision ruling that Trump lacked authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act; Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justices Barrett, Gorsuch, and the liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, with dissent from Kavanaugh, Alito, and Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>The article then outlines Trump\u2019s broader contention that the Fourteenth Amendment\u2019s birthright citizenship clause should be curbed. It notes that after taking office in january 2025 he issued an executive order limiting citizenship to those born to parents subject to U.S. jurisdiction, which would exclude children born to non-residents. Legal challenges produced injunctions delaying implementation, and several <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-to-decide-whether-americans-can-carry-guns-in-public\/\" title=\"... To Decide Whether Americans Can Carry Guns in Public\">federal appeals courts<\/a> upheld<\/a> those blocks. The piece references Trump\u2019s remarks in interviews (including one with NBC\u2019s Meet the Press) and a line of scholarly and political commentary about the meaning of \u201csubject to the jurisdiction thereof,\u201d with some scholars arguing the clause only covers children of citizens or lawful residents.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it touches on concerns about birth tourism from China, citing estimates of hundreds of thousands to over a million people who would be American by birth but live abroad, and mentions a brief from Cruz and Jordan to the Supreme Court. The article includes related tweets and commentary from the period.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump predicted Monday that the U.S. Supreme Court likely will not rule in his favor on an executive order that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-has-signed-40-executive-orders-and-actions-since-taking-office\/\" title=\"Biden has signed 40 ...s and actions since ...\">directs federal agencies<\/a> to only recognize babies born to people in the country legally as American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[T]his supreme court will find a way to come to the wrong conclusion,&rdquo;
