President Donald Trump on Tuesday brushed off a major loss at the Supreme Court, whose 6-3 decision struck down one of his signature initiatives: an effort to limit birthright citizenship.<\/p>

Trump and some of his congressional allies quickly said they weren\u2019t fully giving up the fight, saying they believed a path forward was to pass a law containing the same provisions as his defeated order. But with the current makeup of Congress, that legislation would be dead on arrival.<\/p>

<\/div>

\u201cThe Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process,\u201d Trump posted to his Truth Social platform. \u201cNo long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support!\u201d<\/p>

The case was near and dear to Trump. In April, he attended a Supreme Court hearing on the case, becoming the first sitting president to ever go to oral arguments.<\/p>

Trump\u2019s executive order, which was quickly put on hold by lower courts after he signed it the day he took office, would have limited birthright citizenship to those with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident \u2014 meaning children born in the U.S. to temporary visitors, those on student visas or work permits, or undocumented immigrants would not be citizens at birth. <\/p>

Five of the six justices who found the order to be unlawful said it ran afoul of the 14th Amendment, which states: \u201cAll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.\u201d The sixth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, who was nominated by Trump, said the order violated the law but not the Constitution.<\/p>

With a majority ruling that the executive order ran afoul of the 14th Amendment, a constitutional amendment would likely be necessary to achieve the president\u2019s goal.<\/p>

\u201cRecall for a constitutional amendment to be adopted: A proposed amendment must be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states,\u201d tweeted Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who previously served as his state\u2019s attorney general and as a member of the Texas Supreme Court.<\/p>
