Trump to Become First Sitting President to Attend Supreme Court Oral Arguments in Birthright Citizenship Case

US President Trump announced he will personally attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court on April 2, 2026, in a case challenging his executive order on birthright citizenship, making him the first sitting president to do so. The ruling, expected in late June, could overturn more than 100 years of constitutional precedent.

US President Trump announced that he will personally attend the Supreme Court's oral arguments hearing on the birthright citizenship case on April 2nd. Should this proceed, Trump would become the first sitting US president in history to personally attend Supreme Court oral arguments.

This case involves an executive order Trump signed during his initial presidency term, aimed at restricting citizenship status granted to children born to undocumented immigrants.

Critics argue that this order violates the Fourteenth Amendment's explicit constitutional provision on birthright citizenship. To date, all federal courts hearing this case have ruled the executive order unconstitutional and blocked it.

The Supreme Court is expected to render its decision by end of June, which could potentially overturn over a century of constitutional precedent.

Analysts point out that this case represents a major challenge to both presidential executive power boundaries and the Constitution's interpretation authority. All parties are closely watching these proceedings, whose outcome will profoundly affect the direction of US immigration policy.
