Trump misses deadline to ask Supreme Court to reconsider birthright citizenship ruling
President Donald Trump has not followed through on his pledge to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its recent decision blocking his effort to restrict birthright citizenship.
The 25-day deadline to file a petition for a rehearing expired Monday without any filing appearing on the court's docket, despite Trump's earlier public promise to seek another review of the case.
In a July 8 post on Truth Social, Trump said he would immediately ask the Supreme Court to rehear the case, calling the ruling a "miscarriage of justice" and urging the justices to reverse their decision.
The White House and the Justice Department did not publicly explain why no petition was filed before the deadline.
On June 30, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 against Trump's proposal to limit birthright citizenship, with a majority of the justices concluding the policy conflicted with the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.
The ruling marked another setback for one of Trump's major policy initiatives, joining several other administration proposals that have faced legal challenges before the nation's highest court.
Although Supreme Court rules allow parties to request a rehearing within 25 days of a decision, such requests are rarely successful. Rehearings are granted only in exceptional circumstances.
Trump's proposal would have limited automatic U.S. citizenship at birth to children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Children born in the United States to temporary visitors or people in the country illegally would not have automatically received citizenship under the plan.
The 14th Amendment states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States.
