Reasoning: Donald Trump’s stated plan, as explained on his website, proposes requiring that “at least one parent be a citizen or a legal resident” for a child to qualify for U.S. citizenship. However, all four children meet this criterion based on their father, Donald Trump, being a U.S. citizen by birth. Additionally, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution mandates that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens, regardless of their parents’ immigration or legal status. Legal scholars and constitutional experts confirm that this constitutional right cannot be altered by an executive order or other unilateral action by the president.
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. The claim is false. Donald Trump’s children would have qualified for U.S. citizenship under both current constitutional law and his proposed criteria.
