Supreme Court hears Trump birthright citizenship arguments

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, with a majority of justices appearing skeptical of the administration's legal position. The case, Trump v. Barbara, centers on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause, specifically the phrase 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof.' Trump attended the arguments in person, marking the first time a sitting president has done so.
