Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship while expanding presidential firing power over independent agencies.
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born in the United States to undocumented or temporarily present parents, rejecting President Trump's executive order. In a separate 6-3 ruling, the Court overturned a 90-year-old precedent, granting presidents authority to fire leaders of independent regulatory agencies at will.

The split, in one line
Right-leaning outlets frame the term as a historic expansion of presidential power with the birthright ruling a minor setback, while left-leaning outlets emphasize Trump's losing streak on personal priorities and the Court's rejection of his immigration agenda.
