Click to play Video
▶️

A House Judiciary Committee panel on Wednesday will examine the Supreme Court’s recent decision on birthright citizenship and potential legislative responses to it. A majority of the justices ruled in June to uphold the 14th Amendment practice, citing the Constitution as clearly enshrining jus soli, Latin for “right of the soil.” Following the decision, President Trump signed fresh executive orders targeting birthright citizenship and “birth tourism.” The hearing is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer has subpoenaed the founder of a South Florida company called "Have My Baby in Miami", a business that openly marketed U.S. citizenship to pregnant foreign nationals. Comer, a Kentucky Republican, sent the subpoena to Dr. Wladimir Lorentz on Tuesday after Lorentz's attorney refused to make him available for voluntary testimony. The attorney cited a pending criminal probe by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida as the reason Lorentz could not cooperate with the committee. Comer was unmoved. The subpoena orders Lorentz to appear at a September 1 congressional hearing on birth tourism, and the chairman's letter made clear that a federal investigation does not excuse a witness from…Open

AMERICARENEWING (Nikolaus Schuster) - Primer: The Citizenship Act of 2026 and Ending Birthright Citizenship

The left has normalized large-scale unlawful migration; now the Court has detached citizenship from the concept of political allegiance. Without the Citizenship Act of 2026, membership in our constitutional community may remain a function of geography rather than law, consent, and reciprocal obligation. The post Primer: The Citizenship Act of 2026 and Ending Birthright Citizenship appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .

Background The Supreme Court had an opportunity to restore the Constitution’s original meaning on birthright citizenship and chose not to. The Constitution does not confer citizenship by birth on U.S. soil alone.1 The Center for Renewing America (CRA)’s core position on citizenship is correct: It requires lawful allegiance and membership in the national political community, not mere physical presence inside American territory.2 The court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara will go down as one of the most historically harmful decisions made by the Supreme Court of the United States. However, as CRA has articulated, the ruling has not exhausted the Constitution’s remedies.3 It merely shifts the fight to the branch that wrote the…Open

President Trump signed two executive orders on August 6 targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism, a narrower second attempt after the Supreme Court struck down his broader first order in June.

One order restricts birthright citizenship for children born to adults connected to foreign embassies, members of foreign terrorist organizations, individuals who lobby on behalf of foreign governments, and anyone classified as an "alien enemy" of the United States. It also targets parents who "engaged in fraudulent activity to obtain citizenship." A second order…Open
