A ‘Birthright Citizenship’ Exception — From Canada
· WOWERI
A 1942 proclamation by the British monarch may set a precedent for the US Supreme Court's decision on birthright citizenship, potentially impacting US immigration law.
Introduction
A 1942 proclamation by the British monarch, issued to prevent a potential succession crisis in the Dutch royal house, may set a precedent that President Trump could use if the US Supreme Court rules against him on the birthright citizenship case.
The 1942 Precedent
In 1942, the British monarch issued a proclamation that allowed Dutch Princess Juliana to retain her Dutch citizenship, despite being born in Canada. This precedent may be used to challenge the birthright citizenship rule in the US.
Impact on US Immigration Law
If the US Supreme Court rules against President Trump on the birthright citizenship case, the 1942 proclamation may be used as a precedent to challenge this decision. This could lead to changes in US immigration law.
