President Donald Trump signs Executive Orders in the Oval Office

President Donald Trump set a record on his first day back in office by issuing 26 executive orders, aiming to fulfill many of his campaign promises. However, some of these orders are already facing significant legal and political challenges.

One of the most controversial orders signed by Trump seeks to end birthright citizenship in the United States. The executive order states that U.S. citizenship will not be granted to children born in the country to immigrants who are unlawfully present. This move has sparked legal challenges in 14 states, as birthright citizenship is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Legal experts have noted that such a change would require a constitutional amendment or a major shift in judicial interpretation.
