Trump to watch Supreme Court weigh challenge to birthright citizenshipThe US Supreme Court is to weigh President Donald Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship. He had attended the investiture ceremony of his first Supreme Court justice nominee, Neil Gorsuch, in 2017, months into Trump's first term. The Supreme Court ruled, however, that he was a US citizen by virtue of being born in the United States. - 'History and tradition' -Steven Schwinn, a law professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, said the court is likely to reject the challenge to birthright citizenship. "A person is subject to the United States' 'jurisdiction' only if he owes sufficient allegiance to, and may claim protection from, the United States."
