America's top judicial body agrees to review case disputing automatic citizenship for those born in the US.
The nation's highest court has agreed to take on a pivotal case that challenges a century-old principle: automatic citizenship for individuals born in the United States.
On his first day in office this January, the President enacted a directive aiming to end this practice, but the action was struck down by federal courts after constitutional questions were brought forward.
The Supreme Court's final decision will ultimately uphold citizenship rights for the children of foreign nationals who are in the US without authorization or on non-immigrant visas, or it will nullify the provision completely.
Next, the judges will set a time to hear oral arguments between the government and the suing parties, which include immigrant parents and their young children.
The 14th Amendment
For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has codified the principle that all individuals born in the United States is a citizen, with exceptions for children born to diplomats and members of foreign military forces.
"Every individual born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
The challenged presidential order sought to refuse citizenship to the offspring of people who are either in the US in violation of immigration law or are in the country on non-permanent visas.
The United States belongs to a group of about a minority of states – mostly in the Western Hemisphere – that provide automatic citizenship to all those born on their soil.
