US Supreme Court agrees to review legal challenge challenging automatic citizenship for those born in the US.
The nation's highest court has agreed to take on a significant case that puts to the test a historic principle: guaranteed citizenship for people born on American soil.
On the inaugural day in office this winter, the President issued an executive order aiming to end the policy, but the order was subsequently blocked by federal courts after constitutional questions were initiated.
The Supreme Court's ultimate ruling will ultimately affirm citizenship rights for the offspring of foreign nationals who are in the US without authorization or on short-term permits, or it will end them altogether.
Next, the judges will schedule a date to hear oral arguments between the government and claimants, which include foreign-born parents and their young children.
A Constitutional Cornerstone
For nearly 160 years, the Constitutional amendment has enshrined the principle that all individuals born in the nation is a citizen, with exceptions for children born to embassy personnel and members of invading forces.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The disputed executive order sought to deny citizenship to the children of people who are whether in the US in violation of immigration law or are in the country on non-permanent visas.
The United States is one of about 30 countries – mostly in the Americas – that grant instant citizenship to all those born in their territory.
