US Considers Verifying Parental Citizenship Before Child's Birth

US passport rules: Parents may need to prove citizenship status for children

The US state department is considering a policy requiring parents to verify their citizenship before their children are born in the country. This initiative is intended to combat birth tourism and uphold the significance of American citizenship. Parents may need to present documents like passports or birth certificates. Legal disputes are likely following President Trump's issuance of this executive order.
