The dispute centered on whether a president can reinterpret the Constitution’s guarantee of birthright citizenship.

The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s order seeking to limit birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives citizenship to anyone born in the United States with limited exceptions.

A bare majority of Supreme Court justices ruled that President Trump’s executive order was unconstitutional, reflecting a conservative shift on the issue.

As a political matter, it’s understandable that Republicans are angered by the outcome of Trump v. Barbara, which finds that children born in the United States are entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment even if they aren’t citizens.

The decisions come on the final day of a Supreme Court term that has centered on Trump’s expansive claims of presidential power — and largely ruled in his favor.

The Supreme Court rules that the 14th Amendment requires all children born within the United States to automatically qualify as citizens at birth.
