Court stops Trump on citizenship
125
Donald Trump wanted to change a rule. Every baby born in the USA gets citizenship. This is the Birth Place Principle. Trump wanted to stop this with an order. He wanted to change rules for some families. The highest court in Washington says no. This court is the Supreme Court. 6 of 9 judges vote against the plan. They say the 14th Amendment protects this right. Every free baby gets the citizenship. Only children of diplomats are an exception. Trump is very angry about this decision. He writes his criticism on the internet. He wants help from the Congress. The Congress is the parliament of the USA. He wants a new law against this right. Each year about 250,000 children are born in the USA.
