The Supreme Court of the United States witnessed a historic scene on April 1, 2026, when President Donald Trump sat in the front row of the Court as Justices, some nominated by him, heard oral arguments regarding the validity of the executive order against birthright citizenship in the country.
He was the first sitting U.S. President to attend in person for the proceedings of the country’s highest court.
Mr. Trump left the court during the Opposing party’s arguments and later posted on social media: “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow Birthright’ Citizenship!” Many other countries allow the same.
What is birthright citizenship?
Anyone born in the United States is considered a citizen of the country by birth. This was brought into the American Constitution by the 14th Amendment in 1868. The amendment states: “All persons born or naturalised in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
