Does Donald Trump's decree break the constitution of the United States?
Legal actions argue that The 14th amendment to the American Constitution guarantees citizenship to people born and naturalized in the United Statesand that the States have been interpreting this amendment in this way for a century.
Ratified in 1868 in the aftermath of the Civil War, the amendment stipulated that “All people born or naturalized in the United States and subject to their jurisdiction are citizens of the United States and the State in which they reside”.
According to Donald Trump's new decree, non-citizens' children are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States And federal agencies would not have the right to recognize citizenship of children, at least one parent, is not an American citizen.
The Ministry of Justice said in a statement that it “would defend vigorously” the presidential decree, which, according to him, “correctly interprets the 14th amendment to the United States Constitution”.
