What this bill would do

The Born in the USA Act aims to prevent the use of federal funds to implement Executive Order 14160. This Executive Order involves prohibiting government departments and agencies from recognizing the citizenship of certain children born in the United States. The bill argues that such an order is unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment and previous Supreme Court rulings. By passing this act, Congress seeks to ensure that no money is spent on carrying out that specific order or any similar future policies.
