Born in the USA Act

This bill, known as the "Born in the USA Act," seeks to prohibit the use of any federal funds to implement Executive Order 14160, or any similar successor policy. Executive Order 14160, issued on January 20, 2025, aims to prevent departments and agencies of the United States Government from recognizing the citizenship of certain children born within the United States. The bill asserts that Executive Order 14160 is unconstitutional , directly contradicting the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship. It references the 1898 Supreme Court decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark , which affirmed that children born in the U.S. to resident aliens are citizens. Congress finds that birthright citizenship is a constitutionally guaranteed right that cannot be rescinded by executive order or even by an Act of Congress.
