Babies born in the United States would get automatic citizenship only if at least one parent has a listed legal tie to the country. The rule would apply only to births after the bill becomes law. It would not change citizenship for anyone already born.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on S. 304: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects children born in the United States after the bill becomes law, along with their parents. The most direct impact would fall on families where neither parent is a U.S. citizen or national, a green card holder living in the U.S., or a foreign national in lawful status on active duty in the U.S. armed forces.
Why this matters: This matters because some children born on U.S. soil could no longer be recognized as U.S. citizens automatically. The change could affect families whose parents lack lawful status or have a status that does not fit the bill’s listed categories. It could also raise legal and practical questions about how officials would verify a newborn’s eligibility and how courts would treat the bill under the 14th Amendment.
