If You're Wondering Trump Respects SCOTUS Decisions...
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Congress to end birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional right and struck down his executive order seeking to redefine who is American.
“Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, calling the court’s ruling “too bad” for the nation. “They will have my Complete and Total Support!”
The president further asserted that lawmakers could “easily” address the issue through legislation — a claim that runs counter to decades of precedent, given Congress’s enduring gridlock on immigration, and some legal experts’ comments that a constitutional amendment would be necessary.
The White House declined to elaborate on Trump’s next steps, referring questions to the president’s post.
