The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the merits of Donald Trump’s Executive Order “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship” (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship/) which directed that children born in the United States would not automatically receive U.S. citizenship if their parents were in the country unlawfully or on certain temporary visas. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Supreme Court of the United States rules that Donald Trump’s Executive Order “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship” may not be enforced to deny citizenship to children born in the United States, by July 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying ruling must clearly and finally rule that the order, in whole, is unconstitutional or cannot lawfully take effect, or that the order cannot be enforced to deny citizenship to children born in the United States. Procedural rulings that do not clearly resolve whether the order may lawfully be enforced to deny citizenship to children born in the United States will not be sufficient to resolve this market to “Yes”. If a Supreme Court ruling on this case clearly and finally permits the order to deny citizenship to children born in the United States, this market will resolve to “No”. If the Executive Order is withdrawn prior to any qualifying Supreme Court ruling on the order, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the Supreme Court of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.President Trump's January 20, 2025, executive order restricting birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause—denying automatic U.S. citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to undocumented or non-permanent resident parents—faces imminent Supreme Court review, with oral arguments scheduled for April 1, 2026, in Trump v. Barbara. Federal district and appeals courts have uniformly issued nationwide injunctions blocking enforcement since lawsuits by ACLU and others began January 21, citing settled precedent like United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), which affirmed jus soli citizenship. Trader consensus at 83% for SCOTUS striking down the order reflects this judicial unanimity and historical interpretation, though the conservative majority could revisit distinctions for illegal entrants amid administration arguments on original intent. A ruling is expected by July 2026 term end.
