In this Dallas Express article, Senator Ted Cruz filed a major amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to reconsider the modern interpretation of birthright citizenship as legal challenges to President Trump’s executive order move forward.
- Ted Cruz argued that the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause has been misinterpreted to grant automatic citizenship based solely on being born on U.S. soil
- The brief emphasizes the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” asserting it requires allegiance to the United States, not just physical presence
- Cruz was joined by several Republican lawmakers and legal scholars in challenging the long-standing interpretation
- The filing coincides with the Supreme Court agreeing to hear cases involving Trump’s effort to limit birthright citizenship through executive action
- Supporters of the brief argue that the current interpretation encourages illegal immigration and birth tourism
- President Trump publicly praised Cruz’s legal work and floated him as a potential Supreme Court nominee
- Cruz responded by saying he has no interest in leaving the Senate for a seat on the Supreme Court
- Ongoing speculation about potential future Supreme Court vacancies adds political significance to the brief
