NBC News • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump did not file a petition to the Supreme Court to reconsider its recent ruling on birthright citizenship, missing the 25-day deadline.
- Trump had vowed to seek a rehearing after the court's 6-3 decision on June 30 blocked his proposal to limit birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
- The Supreme Court ruled that Trump's plan, which aimed to restrict citizenship to children of U.S. citizens or permanent residents, violated the Constitution’s citizenship clause.
- Petitions for rehearing by the Supreme Court are rarely granted, with the last successful one occurring in 1965.
- Neither the White House nor the Justice Department provided comments regarding the absence of a rehearing petition.
