The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2024 proposes to change federal law governing who automatically becomes a U.S. citizen at birth. Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to nearly all people born in the United States. This bill would narrow that rule by requiring that at least one parent be either a U.S. citizen or national, a lawfully permanent resident living in the U.S., or an active-duty member of the Armed Forces for a child born in the U.S. to automatically receive citizenship. The bill would apply only to people born after its enactment and would not affect anyone already born in the country. The legislation makes technical changes to existing immigration law to align section references with the new requirements.
