The Supreme Court today is expected to deliver its final decisions of the term with rulings
“expected on birthright citizenship, bands on trans women participating in transgender sports,”
and a decision on campaign finance regulations, and PR's Nina Tottenberg reports. On day one of his second term President Trump issued an executive order barring automatic citizenship for all children born on U.S. soil. He's long maintained that there is no such automatic right to birthright citizenship.
His order never went into effect because it was promptly struck down by every lower court
to rule on the issue. Moreover, in 1898, the Supreme Court itself upheld automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. Today, the current Supreme Court will rule on the question. Also expected today is a decision on whether states can ban trans women athletes from competing
in sports on women's teams in public schools. Nina Tottenberg and PR News Washington. House Speaker Mike Johnson has sent a housing bill that passed Congress with bipartisan support to President Trump's desk.
“But NPR's Claudia Grisales reports that the president is calling the measure a big yon.”
Trump has said he'll hold up legislation like the Housing Bill until Congress takes up his partisan save America act to impose strict proof of citizenship requirements for voters. With the save act still in limbo, Trump told reporters he's not sure he'll sign the housing bill or veto it. "To me, compared to the Save America Act, just about everything is a big yon."
The plan marks one of the few highlights for moderate Republicans facing tough races to keep control of Congress this November. They are hoping to campaign on plans to address affordability and saw the housing bill as a major win in their messaging plans. Claudia D'Sales and PR News.
