Trump plans to attend oral arguments in Supreme Court birthright citizenship case
President Trump said he plans to take the extraordinary step of attending Supreme Court oral arguments Wednesday in a case that could end birthright citizenship in the U.S.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later confirmed to NBC News that Trump plans to be there Wednesday morning when Supreme Court justices hear arguments on the constitutionality of a January 2025 executive order he signed that seeks to limit birthright citizenship to people who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident.
Both the court and the nonprofit Supreme Court Historical Society said in October that there is no official record of any sitting president having attended oral arguments at the high court.
Trump’s presence would come weeks after his attacks on justices following the court’s ruling against his tariffs. At the time, he called justices “disloyal to the Constitution.”
