Birthright Citizenship I: Founding Principles & the 14th Amendment
We are pleased to invite you to join us on Tuesday, February 4th for the first of two virtual briefings discussing President Trump's executive order on the issue of birthright citizenship. We will begin with Claremont Senior Fellow Dr. Edward Erler to discuss the history and intent of the 14th Amendment and its Citizenship Clause.
“If, as many in Congress said, the Citizenship Clause meant to affirm the terms specified in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, not everyone born within the geographical limits of the United States was ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States.”
