He left early after the proceedings and immediately posted a fiery message on social media criticizing birthright citizenship. The administration argued that the Fourteenth Amendment\u2019s citizenship clause grants citizenship by allegiance and would not apply to children born to temporary visitors or undocumented immigrants, a view they say was shaped by historical figures like Senator Lyman Trumbull. The ACLU argued in favor of maintaining the current rule that anyone born in the United States is a citizen.<\/p>\n<p>The case prompted multiple lawsuits nationwide, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/after-weekend-violence-in-chicago-trump-calls-for-bringing-in-federal-government\/\" title=\"After weekend violence in Chicago, ... calls for bringing in federal government\">federal courts issuing injunctions<\/a> to block the administration\u2019s policy. The article also notes that birthright citizenship is not worldwide, citing Pew Research data that 33 nations have such policies, mainly in the Western Hemisphere, while many European and other nations do not. Critics warned that <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >unconditional birthright citizenship encourages birth tourism<\/a> and creates a population with weaker ties to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The White House and supporters framed the event as historic, while opponents emphasized the long-standing rule and it&#8217;s foundational role in U.S. citizenship. The piece includes quotes from Solicitor General John Sauer, ACLU attorney Cecillia Wang, and various public statements and social-media posts related to the debate.  <\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump left the oral arguments early on Wednesday as the Supreme Court considered his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/immigrant-group-suing-trump-receives-federal-funds\/\" title=\"Immigrant group suing ... receives federal funds\">birthright citizenship executive order<\/a>, and soon thereafter posted a fiery message on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was the first sitting U.S. president to attend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/audio-chief-justice-john-roberts-appears-set-throw-wrench-trumps-birthright-citizenship-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oral arguments<\/a> at the nation&rsquo;s highest court.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/donald-trump-exit-supreme-court-birthright-citizenship-case-11769414\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsweek<\/a> reported that Trump spent over an hour listening as Solicitor General John Sauer presented the administration&rsquo;s argument.<\/p>\n<p>The president then left shortly after ACLU attorney Cecillia Wang began to make her case for keeping the current policy.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving the Court, Trump posted on , &ldquo;We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow &lsquo;Birthright&rsquo;

He left early as the government\u2019s lawyer, Solicitor General John Sauer, was still presenting the administration\u2019s position, and he reportedly listened for more than an hour before exiting as ACLU attorney Cecilia Wang began her remarks. Afterward, Trump posted on social media criticizing birthright citizenship, calling the policy \u201cstupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January 2025, Trump issued an executive order claiming that only children born to people subject to U.S. jurisdiction would be citizens, citing the Fourteenth Amendment. The amendment\u2019s text states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States who are subject to its jurisdiction are citizens, which the order would narrow by excluding children born to non-residents. The administration argued this interpretation limits citizenship to children of citizens and lawful permanent residents, a view that has been echoed by some scholars.<\/p>\n<p>Sauer told the Supreme Court that the clause was intended to grant citizenship to the newly freed slaves and their children, not to children of temporary visitors or illegal aliens who supposedly lack allegiance to the United States. He also warned that unlimited birthright citizenship encourages birth tourism and undermines the rule of law. The ACLU\u2019s Wang countered after the arguments that the Court should preserve the long-standing rule that everyone born in the United States is a citizen.<\/p>\n<p>Lawsuits were filed nationwide to block the order, with federal courts issuing injunctions and several appellate courts affirming those injunctions. Proponents of the administration\u2019s view have noted that many other countries do not have birthright citizenship, while opponents have argued that the Fourteenth Amendment\u2019s history supports a broader grants of citizenship<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2586298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Trump-walks-out-early.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[76990,5894,7048,70735,3634],"class_list":["post-2586297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-oral-arguments-2","tag-politics","tag-reaction","tag-supreme-court-2","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Trump-walks-out-early.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2586297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2586297"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2586297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2586301,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2586297\/revisions\/2586301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2586298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2586297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2586297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2586297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
