HR 4741 United States House · 119th Congress

Constitutional Citizenship Clarification Act of 2025

This bill would amend U.S. immigration law to exclude from birthright citizenship children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully present in the country, serving as foreign diplomats, or engaged in hostile operations (such as espionage or terrorism). It directly affects the citizenship status of children born to undocumented immigrants and certain foreign agents. The key mechanism adds specific exceptions to Section 301(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, explicitly stating that such children are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. The bill claims to codify existing common law exceptions but creates new legal categories for exclusion beyond current practice.
