The Application

History

The executive order seeks to redefine 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' to exclude certain categories of children, directly contradicting both the amendment's plain language and established Supreme Court precedent interpreting jurisdiction broadly.

The Conclusion

The court decided the constitutional challenge to the birthright citizenship executive order, addressing whether the executive may restrict the citizenship rights conferred by the 14th Amendment.
