La congresista Nancy Mace presentó esta semana una enmienda constitucional que exigiría que los miembros del Congreso, los jueces federales y los funcionarios designados con confirmación del Senado sean ciudadanos nacidos en el país.

La propuesta refleja una idea del presentador del Daily Wire, Matt Walsh, quien a finales de abril pidió una "Declaración de Derechos de la herencia estadounidense" que impediría a los inmigrantes de primera generación servir en el Congreso. Walsh mencionó específicamente a la congresista Ilhan Omar y a otros legisladores nacidos en el extranjero, argumentando que no tienen derecho a "decirles a los estadounidenses cómo deben vivir sus vidas". Mace señaló a los mismos legisladores, afirmando que su "lealtad no está aquí".

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on March 30, 2026, in Trump v. Barbara, challenging President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas. As previously covered, the order—issued January 20, 2025—interprets the 14th Amendment as not granting automatic citizenship in these cases. A ruling, expected in coming months, could impact hundreds of thousands of children born after February 20, 2025.

Congress returns to Washington with lengthy to-do list

U.S. Congress members returned to Washington this week after a two-week recess, facing a packed agenda including a high-profile Democrat's scandal, an ongoing war with Iran, expiring spy powers, and a prolonged Department of Homeland Security shutdown. Lawmakers must address calls to expel Representative Eric Swalwell, conduct show votes on the Iran conflict, renew FISA Section 702 authority, and resolve funding for the shuttered agency. These issues highlight tensions between parties and constitutional questions over executive actions.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated that advancing the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration, faces significant procedural hurdles despite pressure from President Donald Trump.
