Birthright citizenship, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, faces potential limits through an executive order by President Trump that targets children of parents in the U.S. illegally or temporarily. The Supreme Court is reviewing the order's legality, which could affect 250,000 children annually, per Pew Research Center. Constitutional experts discuss implications of denying citizenship to immigrants.
