Following President Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, one of his key proposals—ending birthright citizenship—has faced significant legal opposition. A federal judge recently blocked his executive order aimed at curtailing the automatic granting of citizenship to children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. The move has sparked heated debate over the constitutional implications and the scope of presidential powers. Should a judge have the authority to override the president’s decision on such a major policy shift?
Yes
It is.
No
It isn’t.
