The American Mind: Birthright Citizenship: Game On!
Claremont Institute scholars argue that the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause does not guarantee automatic citizenship for all born on U.S. soil. They contend that "subject to the jurisdiction" implies complete allegiance to the U.S., not just temporary presence, a view supported by historical legal interpretations.
President Trump’s executive order aims to redefine this understanding, directing government agencies to adopt the Claremont scholars' interpretation. This has sparked legal challenges, as critics assert that the Constitution mandates automatic citizenship for all born in the U.S. The Supreme Court may soon address this contentious issue.

The American Mind: The Case for Limiting Birthright Citizenship
The issue of birthright citizenship is gaining attention as President Trump’s second term raises questions about whether the U.S. should automatically grant citizenship to any child born on its soil. Critics argue that the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment may not align with its original intent.
Supporters of limiting birthright citizenship cite constitutional and moral grounds, referencing the jurisdiction clause of the 14th Amendment. They argue that historical debates surrounding the Civil Rights Act and the founding principles of America support a more restrictive interpretation.
