A deputada Nancy Mace apresentou esta semana uma emenda constitucional que exigiria que membros do Congresso, juízes federais e nomeados confirmados pelo Senado sejam cidadãos natos.

A proposta reflete uma ideia do apresentador do Daily Wire, Matt Walsh, que no final de abril pediu uma "Declaração de Direitos da Herança Americana" que impediria imigrantes de primeira geração de servir no Congresso. Walsh citou especificamente a deputada Ilhan Omar e outros legisladores nascidos no exterior, argumentando que eles não têm autoridade para "dizer aos americanos como viver suas vidas". Mace apontou para os mesmos legisladores, afirmando que a "lealdade deles não está aqui".

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.
