Trump Tests Birthright Citizenship Boundaries With Narrower Order

President Donald Trump issued a narrower executive order aimed at stripping citizenship from some Americans born in the United States, in a bid to test where the Supreme Court will draw the line on birthright citizenship. Vox’s explainer situates the move against long-standing precedent from Wong Kim Ark and the Barbara v. Barbara decision, arguing that most provisions—such as denaturalizing children of diplomats or so-called birth tourists—are unconstitutional, with outcomes depending on five Supreme Court votes and potential future vacancies.
