Trump Misses 25-Day Supreme Court Rehearing Deadline on Birthright Citizenship

3 articles · Updated · ms.now · Jul 29

Summary

  • The 25-day window to ask the Supreme Court to rehear its birthright citizenship ruling has closed with no filing from Donald Trump, despite his July 8 pledge to seek a do-over “IMMEDIATELY.”
  • The missed deadline followed the court’s earlier ruling that the 14th Amendment protects birthright citizenship, a decision Trump had denounced as a “miscarriage of justice.”
  • Supreme Court records showed no rehearing motion, and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on why the administration let the deadline pass.
  • The lapse fits a broader pattern in which Trump has announced major actions — including a 25% Iran-related tariff threat and a 10% Canada tariff — that were never carried out.

Insights

Could a simple missed deadline permanently cement the century-old constitutional interpretation of birthright citizenship?
Are alternative administrative avenues remaining now that the highest court's procedural window has firmly closed?
