The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case regarding President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, which has brought the 14th Amendment back into the legal spotlight. The amendment, ratified in 1868 amid Reconstruction, states that all persons born or naturalized in the US are citizens of the United States and subject to the jurisdiction of the state. However, the president’s executive order stated that the amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to all born within the US and excludes individuals born on U.S. land that is occupied by a foreign army. Children born to foreign diplomats are not granted citizenship due to the principle of diplomatic immunity, which allows them to be considered lawful permanent residents from birth if they so choose. Many Native Americans, as members of their respective tribal nations, were not granted birthright Citizenship for over 50 years after the passage of the 14st Amendment.
