Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Plan Risks Undoing Progress
Kermit Roosevelt III, a constitutional law professor, argues that Donald Trump's challenge to birthright citizenship echoes post-Civil War efforts to undermine civil rights. The debate centers on the 14th Amendment's "subject to the jurisdiction" clause, with Roosevelt asserting the administration's interpretation is historically inaccurate and legally unsound. He believes the Supreme Court will likely reject the argument, but warns of broader implications for national identity and civil rights.
