President Donald Trump said on July 8 he will immediately ask the Supreme Court to rehear its June 30 decision that struck down his executive order limiting birthright citizenship. " The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling on June 30 that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present satisfy the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.
The decision blocked a 2025 executive order Trump issued that sought to prevent children of immigrants in the country without authorization from automatically becoming U.S. citizens. Trump called on Congress to pass legislation ending birthright citizenship.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said he supports a bill to curtail the policy and would advance it immediately if one is introduced. " Under the Supreme Court's rules, parties have 25 days to petition for a rehearing. Rehearings have rarely been granted.
