Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump\u2019s proposed limits<\/a><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 A divided\u00a0Supreme Court<\/span>\u00a0on Tuesday upheld a broad conception of\u00a0birthright citizenship<\/a><\/span>, rejecting President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order declaring that children born to people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.<\/p>\n

By a 6-3 vote, the court struck down Trump\u2019s order. A bare majority of five justices, in an opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, held that the long-settled understanding of\u00a0the 14th Amendment<\/a><\/span>, adopted after the Civil War, makes a citizen of anyone born in the country, with very limited exceptions,<\/p>\n

\u201cCitizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights\u2014to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to \u2018every free-born person in this land,\u2019\u201d Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court, citing congressional debate over the amendment, \u201cWe keep that promise today.\u201d<\/p>\n

A sixth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, disagreed about the constitutional ruling, but pointed to a federal law that he said broadly conveys birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
