Birthright Citizenship; a constitutional right; affirm
This is a symbolic Senate resolution (SR 123) affirming that birthright citizenship - established by the Fourteenth Amendment and Supreme Court precedent like *Wong Kim Ark* - is a constitutional right. It does not change any law or policy, as birthright citizenship is already protected under existing constitutional law. The resolution expresses the Senate's support for this principle and references historical legal foundations, but it has no binding effect on government actions or immigration policy.
