Story summary

U.S. President Donald Trump missed the 25-day deadline on Monday night and, on July 8 via Truth Social, said he would request a rehearing of the birthright citizenship ruling.
The Court’s 6-3 ruling said Trump’s birthright-citizenship limit violated the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause, with five justices concurring.
Rules allow a 25-day rehearing request, yet such petitions are rare, with the last granted in 1965, noted by Steve Vladeck of Georgetown Law.
