Bill overview
The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2023 clarifies that individuals born in the United States are automatically U.S. citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Specifically, it expands the definition of ‘subject to the jurisdiction of the United States’ to include parents who are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or active-duty military personnel. This bill aims to reinforce the established constitutional right to birthright citizenship. It does not alter the citizenship status of those born before the bill’s enactment.
