President Donald Trump may still be waiting for a final Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship, but he has already made history simply by walking into the courtroom, as he became today, April 1, the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Supreme Court oral argument in person, a highly unusual move that instantly elevated the symbolism.
Described by the Associated Press as "a major test of presidential power and constitutional interpretation," the case centers on Trump's executive order seeking to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to some children born on American soil if their parents are in the country unlawfully or temporarily.
