The Application
Santa Clara County alleges the executive order unconstitutionally attempts to narrow or eliminate birthright citizenship for a class of persons, conflicting with the 14th Amendment's express text. The core dispute is whether the Amendment's citizenship provision is self-executing and whether the President possesses executive authority to restrict citizenship independent of constitutional amendment or statutory authorization.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in the Northern District of California before Judge Eumi K. Lee, with the constitutionality of the birthright citizenship order pending judicial determination.
