## Resource

Could the Supreme Court reshape one of the most fundamental questions in American law: who qualifies as a U.S. citizen? A new legal challenge is raising serious questions about birthright citizenship — the long-standing principle that anyone born in the United States is automatically a citizen under the 14th Amendment. If the Supreme Court takes up this issue, the implications could be far-reaching. In this livestream, we break down: • What birthright citizenship is and where it comes from • The legal arguments challenging it • What the Supreme Court could decide • How a ruling could impact millions of people • The broader political and constitutional implications This is one of the most significant constitutional questions in years — and it could redefine what it means to be American.
