Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship

What it means

This order restricts automatic citizenship for babies born in the US to mothers who are either undocumented or on temporary visas (like tourist or student visas), if the father is not a US citizen or permanent resident. The change applies only to births occurring 30 days after the order's signing.

Expected impact

• Creates a significant change in how birthright citizenship is interpreted under the 14th Amendment
• Likely to face legal challenges from immigration advocates who may argue it contradicts constitutional precedent
• Would reduce the number of children automatically granted US citizenship at birth
• Could affect families with mixed immigration status
• Federal agencies must issue guidance within 30 days on implementing the new policy
