Donald Trump has stated that he intends to attend the Supreme Court hearing that could lead to the elimination of birthright citizenship, a first for a sitting president. This hearing will decide whether Trump can deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. Trump signed an executive order at the beginning of his term aimed at removing birthright citizenship, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
Critics of the order argue that it violates the Constitution, and several courts have suspended its enforcement. Trump has publicly attacked the justices of the Supreme Court, including those he appointed, accusing them of failing to uphold the Constitution. In the past, Trump has participated in confirmation hearings for his judges, but this is the first time a sitting president will be present at a Supreme Court hearing. Justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, have warned that personal attacks on the judiciary can be dangerous.
