- Historical debates and legal precedents largely support a narrow interpretation of the 14th Amendment with limited exceptions.
- A majority of the Justices currently appear inclined to uphold the established right and reject drastic changes.
Ask any American what our citizenship rule is and they’ll tell you everyone born here is a citizen alike. That rule was enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment to put it out of the reach of any government official to destroy.— Cecillia Wang, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, as quoted in The New Yorker
