Supporting the efforts of the Trump Administration to obtain a rehearing of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Trump v. Barbara, and for other purposes.
This House Resolution addresses the Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v. Barbara , which affirmed birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present. The Court's 5-4 ruling on June 30, 2026, invalidated President Trump's Executive Order 14160, which had sought to restrict such automatic citizenship. Following this decision, concerns arose regarding the potential exploitation of the ruling through commercial "birth tourism" packages, reportedly marketed near the southern border. The resolution explicitly supports the Trump Administration's intention to seek a rehearing of the Trump v. Barbara decision, urging the Solicitor General to file a petition and the Supreme Court to grant it. It affirms the profound national importance of properly interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause and preventing its circumvention. Furthermore, the resolution calls upon the House Committee on the Judiciary to closely monitor developments and consider necessary legislative or oversight actions to protect the integrity of U.S. citizenship and immigration laws.
