Kavanaugh opens congressional path to birthright tweaks after citizenship ruling
TL;DR
Following the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling, Justice Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion suggesting Congress could curb birthright through federal law (not a constitutional change), outlining a pathway to amend the Citizenship Clause or related statutes. Republicans including Johnson, Paul, Lee and Cotton are pushing for amendments or legislation, while the DOJ shifts tactics to curb birth tourism and the debate over how to narrow birthright citizenship continues.
