Watch: Supreme Court's birthright ruling is major blow to Trump, says BBC's Gary O'Donoghue By President Donald Trump's standards, his response to the Supreme Court ruling against him on birthright citizenship was rather tepid. He said Tuesday's decision was "too bad for our country", before going on to endorse legislation that would reinstate his proposed limits on the longstanding legal principle that anyone born in the country is a US citizen. The chances that Congress will act on that are slim, however.
Main Idea: The US Supreme Court gave Donald Trump a major loss on birthright citizenship, but it also continued to expand presidential power in other areas.
Key Points:
Supreme Court rulings may let presidents shape agencies, immigration, and election rules more directly, which could raise policy swings for workers, voters, and businesses.
The birthright citizenship ruling limits one Trump plan, giving some families more certainty about citizenship rights.
