  • President-elect Donald Trump says he'll end birthright citizenship, after years of criticizing the constitutional right.

The article from MSN discusses the concept of birthright citizenship in the United States, which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of the legal status of their parents, as per the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It explores former President Donald Trump's interest in ending this practice, a policy he has advocated for since his 2016 campaign. Trump's proposal involves an executive order to reinterpret the Constitution, arguing that it would not apply to children of undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas. Legal experts, however, argue that such a change would likely require a constitutional amendment or a Supreme Court decision, as the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment supports birthright citizenship. The article also touches on the political and legal complexities involved, noting that while Trump's initiative has support among some Republicans, it faces significant legal and political hurdles.
