The US Supreme Court recently ruled against President Donald Trump on the issue of birthright citizenship, a decision he described as "too bad for our country." Despite this setback, Trump endorsed legislation aimed at reinstating limits on the principle that anyone born in the US is a citizen. However, prospects for such legislation are slim, as Democrats are expected to block it in the Senate, and its constitutionality remains uncertain.

This ruling concludes a Supreme Court term marked by significant victories for Trump, largely due to the conservative majority established during his first term. In April, the court struck down a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by ruling that congressional districts designed to enhance racial minority voting power were unconstitutional.

Kate Shaw, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, commented on the court's stance, saying, "There will be occasional deviations, but I think this is a very strong, very conservative court with the broadest conception of presidential power that we have ever seen."

While Trump has occasionally expressed frustration with the court and the three justices he appointed, the Supreme Court has nonetheless granted him unprecedented authority compared to previous presidents.
