Birthright Citizenship Changes: New Rules for US-Born Children.

This bill modifies the rules for granting U.S. citizenship to children born in the United States. Under the new provisions, birthright citizenship will only be granted if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or serving in the armed forces. These changes will not affect the status of individuals born before the act's enactment.
Key points
A child born in the U.S. will receive citizenship only if one parent is a citizen, permanent resident, or military member.
New rules do not apply to individuals born before these changes are implemented.
The bill aims to clarify who is subject to birthright citizenship.
