Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship

On January 20, 2025, President [Name] signed Executive Order 14160, which aims to redefine the criteria for birthright citizenship in the United States. The order specifies that children born in the U.S. will not automatically receive citizenship if their mother was unlawfully present or temporarily in the U.S., and their father was not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of birth. This action could face significant legal challenges, as it alters the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment and may provoke political debate over immigration and citizenship policies.
