Trump pushes another citizenship limit as political battles intensify

Donald Trump issued an executive order to restrict birthright citizenship, sparking fresh controversy amid looming elections and impeachment talks.

Donald Trump released another executive order that would limit birthright citizenship, continuing his pattern of constitutional challenges. In a recent interview, he suggested that public anger is directed at Republican lawmakers rather than himself, and he signaled possible retaliation against Senate Majority Leader John Thune if the filibuster remains. Trump advocates for the SAVE America Act, a voter-ID measure that could backfire politically.

Democrats, learning from past impeachment attempts, are focusing on gathering evidence through investigations rather than rushing a vote. Meanwhile, Trump's approval on economic issues has fallen below historic lows, eroding the business-person image that once bolstered his 2024 campaign.

Why it matters

The order could reshape citizenship rules and intensify partisan conflict ahead of the 2024 elections.
