ABA Urges Congress to Reject Birthright Law

The Associated Press reports that the American Bar Association passed a resolution urging the U.S. Congress to reject any changes to the Constitution that would eliminate automatic citizenship for anyone born in the United States. On the heels of some Republican lawmakers calling for legislation to repeal birthright citizenship the outgoing ABA President, Stephen Zack, said in an interview that the Constitution must be respected. John Eastman, a conservative law professor at Chapman University, argued that it’s an open question whether the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment allows for citizenship for anyone born in the U.S. and said it’s time for the U.S. Congress to clarify the issue.
