Trump says he will ask Supreme Court to rehear birthright citizenship case
The US Supreme Court rarely grants requests to rehear cases and has not done so after issuing a ruling in an argued case in decades

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will ask the US Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging his executive order curtailing birthright citizenship, a long-shot bid to reverse the court’s rejection of one of his signature policies.
The court last month rejected Trump’s attempt to restrict birthright citizenship in the US, ruling that his directive violated language in the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment that confers citizenship to those born in the United States who are “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
