Alan Dershowitz suggested that the U.S. Supreme Court could avoid striking down President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship by considering a legal principle related to standing in lawsuits.
Trump's executive order, issued shortly after he took office, has faced legal challenges from the A.C.L.U. and multiple states, which were won by former Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
Dershowitz noted that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted citizenship to freed slaves, does not clearly define who is subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
He commented that the amendment is poorly written, leading to ongoing debates about its interpretation and the legality of Trump's order.
