Washington. There is a lot of fear these days among the people of other countries living in America. The reason for this fear is an order by US President Donald Trump, which he has issued at the beginning of his second term. According to this order, the provision of American citizenship being automatically given to children of non-American parents by birth has been abolished. This means that children of foreign passport holders will no longer be considered American citizens. This also includes those who are living in the country legally, such as tourists, students and people living on work visas.
After this decision by Donald Trump, many claims are going viral on social media platform X. In one of these, it was said that the American citizenship of Usha Vance, the Indian-origin wife of Vice President JD Vance, could be cancelled.
What is the claim in the viral post?
This viral post claimed that under this decision of President Trump, Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance, who is of Indian origin, may now lose her American citizenship.
However, these claims have no basis. Legal experts and officials associated with the US administration have clarified that this order will come into effect from February 20. In such a situation, it can apply only to children born after this date. It will not have any effect on people born before this.
What does the US Constitution say?
The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution makes it clear that everyone born in the United States is an American citizen by naturalization. President Trump’s order may be an attempt to challenge the interpretation of this amendment, but it would require court approval to be implemented.
Why is Usha Vance being discussed?
Usha Vance is an American citizen and this order has no effect on her citizenship. The claims spread on social media are completely misleading. President Trump’s order neither applies to existing citizens nor does it cancel previously granted citizenship.
Experts have appealed not to believe such rumors being spread on social media. Any change on the issue of citizenship will have to go through a long legal process to be implemented.
