The nation's highest court will consider case questioning birthright citizenship.

The top court has will hear a significant case that challenges a century-old guarantee: automatic citizenship for individuals born on American soil.

On his first day in office this winter, the administration signed an order aiming to terminate the policy, but the order was subsequently blocked by federal courts after lawsuits were filed.

The Supreme Court's final judgment will either support citizenship rights for the offspring of immigrants who are in the US undocumented or on short-term permits, or it will overturn them entirely.

Next, the judges will schedule a date to hear arguments between the administration and claimants, which involve parents who are immigrants and their newborns.

The Legal Foundation

For over a century and a half, the Fourteenth Amendment has established the principle that all individuals born in the United States is a US citizen, with exceptions for children born to embassy personnel and personnel of occupying armies.

"Every individual born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

The contested 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 short-term status.

The United States belongs to a group of about a minority of states – primarily in the North and South America – that award instant citizenship to any person born on their soil.
