A BILL 
To prohibit the use of Federal funds to carry out Executive 
Order 14160. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Born in the USA Act 
of 2025’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) On January 20, 2025, President Trump 
issued the flagrantly and clearly unconstitutional 
Executive Order 14160 (90 Fed. Reg. 8449), enti-
tled ‘‘Protecting the Meaning and Value of American 
Citizenship’’, to prohibit the departments and agen-
cies of the United States Government from recog-
nizing the citizenship of certain children born in the 
United States. 
(2) The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of 
the United States unambiguously states: ‘‘All per-
sons born or naturalized in the United States, and 
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the 
United States and of the State wherein they re-
side.’’.

(3) In 1898, the Supreme Court of the United 
States issued a decision United States v. Wong Kim 
Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898) interpreting the birth-
right citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment to 
the Constitution of the United States. 
(4) In United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 
U.S. 649 (1898), the Supreme Court of the United 
States concludes that— 
(A) ‘‘[t]he Fourteenth Amendment affirms 
the ancient and fundamental rule of citizenship 
by birth within the territory, in the allegiance 
and under the protection of the country, includ-
ing all children here born of resident aliens’’; 
and 
(B) ‘‘[i]t can hardly be denied that an 
alien is completely subject to the political juris-
diction of the country in which he resides . . . 
it is well known that, by the public law, an 
alien, or a stranger born, for so long a time as 
he continues within the dominions of a foreign 
government, owes obedience to the laws of that 
government’’. 
(5) Federal courts around the country have 
weighed in against the constitutionality of Executive 
Order 14160 (90 Fed. Reg. 8449).

(6) Birthright citizenship is a right guaranteed 
by the Constitution of the United States and further 
enshrined in Federal law in title III of the Immigra-
tion and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.); 
therefore, birthright citizenship cannot be rescinded 
by Executive order or by an Act of Congress. 
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS. 
No Federal funds may be appropriated or otherwise 
made available to carry out Executive Order 14160 (90 
Fed. Reg. 8449; relating to protecting the meaning and 
value of American citizenship) (or any successor Executive 
order, regulation, or policy).
