Bill > S646

This bill, titled the "Born in the USA Act," seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds to implement Executive Order 14160, which was issued by President Trump on January 20, 2025, and aimed to restrict citizenship recognition for certain children born in the United States. The bill provides extensive context about birthright citizenship, citing the 14th Amendment and the landmark 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which affirmed that children born in the United States to resident aliens are automatically U.S. citizens. The bill's findings emphasize that the executive order is unconstitutional, noting that multiple federal courts have challenged its legality. The bill argues that birthright citizenship is a constitutional right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and codified in the Immigration and Nationality Act, and therefore cannot be rescinded by an executive order or an act of Congress. The core provision of the bill is a direct prohibition on appropriating or using any federal funds to implement Executive Order 14160 or any similar subsequent executive order, regulation, or policy that attempts to limit birthright citizenship.
