Show Notes
Trumps bid to end birthright citizenship faces historical scrutiny as the Supreme Court hears arguments in Trump v. Barbara. The Fourteenth Amendments Citizenship Clause, granting citizenship to all born in the US, is at the heart of the debate. However, historical context from the 1860s reveals a broader intent, with senators like Jacob Howard and Benjamin Wade advocating for citizenship for all born here, except foreign diplomats kids. The amendments ratification in 1868, championed by figures like Frederick Douglass, underscores its inclusive spirit, making Trumps proposed limitation seem at odds with the original vision for American democracy.
