if neither parent is a US citizen or permanent resident, the child wouldn’t have US citizenship by birth. notably, Kamala Harris would have been ineligible for the Presidency under this rule, since her parents were on student visas when she was born. (though the Heritage Foundation maintains they wouldn’t retroactively strip citizenship but still… yikes.)
also, the issue before the Court concerns a TRO blocking implementation of the policy change. they’re asking for the Court to rule that TROs must apply only to named plaintiffs. that’s a separate issue from the legality of the EO itself, but it’s actually scarier, since it would neuter the lower courts’ last meaningful check on the Executive’s power.
