President Donald Trump on Tuesday brushed off a major loss at the Supreme Court, whose 6-3 decision struck down one of his signature initiatives: an effort to limit birthright citizenship.

Trump and some of his congressional allies quickly said they weren't fully giving up the fight, saying they believed a path forward was to pass a law containing the same provisions as his defeated order. But with the current makeup of Congress, that legislation would be dead on arrival.

"The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process," Trump posted to his Truth Social platform. "No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship.
