Trump spoke at the Theodore Roosevelt Library in Medora, North Dakota on July 2 and said of the ruling he would 'take care' of birthright citizenship, doubling down on the legislative route. Senators Mike Lee (UT), Tom Cotton (AR), John Cornyn (TX) and Rick Scott (FL) each announced separate constitutional amendment bills or legislative proposals. ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said Trump 'suffered a stunning loss'; ACLU's Romero called the ruling 'a stain on Trump's record.' A constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers and ratification by three-fourths of states; Republicans hold 53 Senate seats, 14 short of 67 needed. ↗

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he was 'very disappointed' and concluded 'you've got to amend the Constitution to fix that,' splitting with Trump who insists legislation under §1401(a) suffices. Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) introduced a constitutional amendment the evening of June 30 that would limit birthright citizenship to children of citizens and lawful permanent residents. The legislation-vs-amendment divide is now the defining Republican fault line following the ruling. ↗
概要
最高法院于6月30日以6比3裁定,宪法第十四修正案公民权条款赋予几乎所有在美国领土上出生的人公民身份,宣告第14160号行政令无效。特朗普总统于2025年1月20日签署该行政令,指示各机构不得承认父母既非公民又非合法永久居民的子女的公民身份。首席大法官罗伯茨撰写多数意见,卡瓦诺、巴雷特、索托马约尔、卡根和杰克逊大法官联署。托马斯、阿利托和戈萨奇大法官持异议。所有审查该行政令实质内容的下级法院均裁定其无效,该行政令从未得到执行。
为何重要
该裁决是本届任期最重要的移民类判决,也是对特朗普第二任期标志性优先事项之一的直接回击。一个模式日益清晰:继2月关税裁决和周一联储主席解雇案败诉后,最高法院已在宪法层面阻止了特朗普三项最具野心的行政举措。公民权条款的解释对这一代人而言已成定论。
