America's top judicial body has decided to review legal challenge challenging automatic citizenship for those born in the US.
The top court has agreed to take on a significant case that challenges a longstanding guarantee: automatic citizenship for people born in the United States.
On the inaugural day in office this January, the President signed an order aiming to halt birthright citizenship, but the order was struck down by lower courts after constitutional questions were filed.
The Supreme Court's final decision will ultimately uphold citizenship rights for the offspring of foreign nationals who are in the US illegally or on short-term permits, or it will nullify the provision completely.
Next, the justices will schedule a date to hear arguments between the federal government and the suing parties, which comprise foreign-born parents and their newborns.
The Legal Foundation
For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has codified the principle that all individuals born in the United States is a citizen, with certain exclusions for children born to foreign diplomats and members of occupying armies.
"Every individual born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The disputed directive sought to deny citizenship to the offspring of people who are either in the US without legal status or are in the country on short-term status.
The United States belongs to a group of about 30 countries – mostly in the Western Hemisphere – that provide automatic citizenship to all those born on their soil.
