Speaker Mike Johnson Pushes for Legislation to Restrict Birthright Citizenship After Supreme Court Ruling
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that Congress will pursue legislative changes to birthright citizenship following a Supreme Court decision that overturned a previous executive order. Johnson argued that birthright tourism devalues the 14th Amendment and that the current system threatens national security. He stated that lawmakers are now evaluating all options to address the issue through new federal laws. The Speaker's comments focus on restricting citizenship to children of U.S. citizens or legal residents. He described the Supreme Court's recent opinion as an errant ruling that requires a congressional response. Johnson emphasized that Congress must act to protect the constitutional order and the value of American citizenship.
