Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his promise to end birthright citizenship, a policy enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that grants automatic citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Legal experts have raised questions about the feasibility of such a move, citing significant constitutional and legal obstacles. Critics, including Representative Ilhan Omar, have argued that Trump misunderstands the essence of American citizenship. The proposal has sparked widespread debate and media attention, with many questioning whether Trump has the authority to unilaterally implement such a change.
