Dear Jurisprudence: Can Donald Trump Wave a Wand to Get Rid of Birthright Citizenship?

  • This week's episode of Amicus is a mailbag special in which Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern answer listeners' burning questions about the law and its odds of surviving a second Trump administration.

The article from Slate discusses Donald Trump's proposal to end birthright citizenship, a policy guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Trump has suggested that he could achieve this through an executive order, a move that would likely face significant legal challenges. Critics argue that such a change would require a constitutional amendment, not merely an executive action, due to the clear language in the 14th Amendment. The article explores the historical context of birthright citizenship, its implications for immigration policy, and the potential political motivations behind Trump's proposal. It also delves into the complexities of immigration law, the potential for increased legal battles, and the broader societal impact of altering this long-standing American principle.
