President Donald Trump said Wednesday he may personally attend Supreme Court arguments in a high-stakes case over birthright citizenship.
“I’m going,” Trump said, adding he would “just sit there and listen, because I have listened to this argument for so long.”
The Supreme Court of the United States is set to hear arguments on the legality of Trump’s executive order seeking to end automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to unauthorized immigrants and certain temporary visa holders.
The case centers on the Fourteenth Amendment and its Citizenship Clause, which guarantees citizenship to those born on U.S. soil.
The White House argues the clause has been misinterpreted and does not apply universally, while critics say the order directly conflicts with longstanding constitutional precedent.
Trump will be the first U.S. president to sit in on oral arguments at the SCOTUS.
