President Donald Trump will ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision on the birthright citizenship case, he announced on Wednesday.
\nTrump wrote in a post on Truth Social that the court\u2019s decision to uphold birthright citizenship, even in the case of children of illegal immigrants and those in the U.S. temporarily, was \u201cabsolutely insane.\u201d
\nThe president said he was already seeing examples of the ruling being exploited.
\n\u201cSigns and Billboards are being put up all over our Southern Border, and Mexico, advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with \u2018Deliveries starting at $4000.\u2019 Likewise, similar signs going up all over our Country. Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay,\u201d Trump wrote.

\u201cI will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don\u2019t change their absolutely insane decision,\u201d he added.
\nThe court\u2019s ruling allows the losing party to file a petition for a rehearing within 25 days of the ruling being handed down. However, a majority of justices on the court would have to agree to rehearing in order for it to be considered again.

The 6-3 decision, handed down on the court\u2019s final day of session, saw Chief Justice John Roberts writing that all children born on U.S. soil \u201cto parents unlawfully or temporarily present\u201d are \u201ccitizens at birth\u201d under the 14th Amendment.
\nConservatives have sought a way to move forward against birthright citizenship in the days since the ruling, with some saying a constitutional amendment may be necessary.

\nOthers have pointed to arguments from justices like Bret Kavanaugh, who sided with the majority, but did not outright state that the Constitution enshrines birthright citizenship.
\nKavanaugh argued in a concurring opinion that Trump\u2019s mistake was imposing limits via executive order, but said those limits might rightfully be imposed by an act of Congress.<\/p>\n
House Speaker Mike Johnson has said Republicans are exploring such a legislative push, but there has been no public progress since the ruling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
