Paul Pushes Amendment to End Birthright Citizenship | US News

Senator Rand Paul is reigniting the push for a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship, backed by GOP allies like Mike Lee and Bernie Moreno, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that upholds the practice. Paul argues the 14th Amendment’s original intent didn’t include automatic citizenship for all born on U.S. soil, and his amendment would restrict it to children of citizens, legal residents, or certain military members. The Court’s decision, siding with 1898 precedent, has energized conservatives, with Rick Scott proposing a SAFE KIDS Act and Ron DeSantis calling for a constitutional fix. With executive orders now blocked, Congress must act — requiring a two-thirds vote in both chambers and ratification by 38 states — to change the law.
