Donald Trump was recently sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. Since becoming president, he has already signed a number of executive orders<\/p>\n
Some of the different policies that the 78-year-old president signed include some that do not require the approval of Congress. Those would be the withdrawal from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement. The TikTok ban was also delayed.<\/p>\n

One of the issues that has drawn a lot of attention is his move toward ending birthright citizenship. This was interesting, leading many to wonder how his son, Baron Trump, would be affected.<\/p>\n
The birthright citizenship that Trump is likely talking about is a legal principle, jus soli. That Latin phrase means \u2018right of the soil\u2019.<\/p>\n
The principle of birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It states: \u201cAll persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.\u201d<\/p>\n
In other words, citizenship is granted to anyone born in the country, even if their parents are not citizens. Essentially, anyone born on US soil is immediately a United States citizen.<\/p>\n
The order that Trump is trying to push through makes it so that children born in the United States without a parent who is a US citizen do not automatically receive US citizenship. Federal agencies would thereby not be allowed to issue or recognize documentation that proves US citizenship for those children.<\/p>\n
There are many who may be affected by this but it is especially targeted toward unauthorized immigrants and people who are illegally in the United States.<\/p>\n
Barron\u2019s mother, Melania Trump, was not a US citizen when he was born in Manhattan in 2006. His father, Donald Trump, was a US citizen who was natural born and his mother was a permanent resident who was legally in the country on a green card that she held since 2001.<\/p>\n
Since Barron\u2019s father, Donald Trump was a natural-born United States citizen, the executive order would not impact him.<\/p>\n
When all is said and done, birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. Any order trying to revoke it will likely be immediately blocked and would be tied up through legal challenges for many years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
