Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • This bill changes who automatically gets U.S. citizenship at birth by narrowing the definition of being subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
  • It affects children born in the U.S. to parents who lack citizenship, permanent residency, or military service status.
  • The change takes effect upon enactment and does not retroactively affect people born before that date.
