The Supreme Court is set to hand down the final rulings of its term Tuesday, with four major cases on the docket — including a challenge to President Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. The court begins releasing opinions at 10 a.m. Eastern.

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to anyone born in the U.S., with a few small exceptions. The impact of the court's decision will depend on exactly how the justices word their opinion.

Exactly. At most it's an area for Congress to pass a law and then the Courts can weigh in on it again. cstanleytech Jun 30 #5
Most corrupt court in our history. travelingthrulife Jun 30 #3

The Constitution should not be something that can just be easily changed by executive order. What a mess that would be. Each administration would be issuing orders, making all kinds of changes based on the whims of its politics.

What Trump tried with his Executive Orders was to bypass both the Congress and the Constitution.
