President Trump sat through Supreme Court oral arguments on his executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. This was the first time a sitting president attended arguments at the Court. Chief Justice John Roberts sharply questioned Solicitor General John Sauer, highlighting the Court's skepticism about the order's constitutional basis. The Court will decide whether a president may end birthright citizenship by executive order, a ruling that would immediately change citizenship rules and reshape immigration policy.
