US Supreme Court will consider legal challenge challenging citizenship by birth.
The nation's highest court has will hear a significant case that puts to the test a historic principle: automatic citizenship for those born in the United States.
On his first day in office this winter, the President enacted a directive aiming to terminate birthright citizenship, but the order was halted by the judiciary after constitutional questions were initiated.
The Supreme Court's eventual ruling will either uphold citizenship rights for the infants of foreign nationals who are in the US without authorization or on short-term permits, or it will overturn the provision altogether.
Next, the judges will set a time to hear oral arguments between the government and claimants, which comprise immigrant parents and their infants.
A Constitutional Cornerstone
For more than 150 years, the Constitutional amendment has codified the rule that every person born in the United States is a American citizen, with exceptions for children born to embassy personnel and members of invading forces.
"Every individual born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The contested executive order sought to withhold citizenship to the children of people who are whether in the US illegally or are in the country on non-permanent visas.
The United States is one of about 30 countries – mostly in the Western Hemisphere – that provide immediate citizenship to any person born on their soil.
