President Donald Trump responded to a series of Supreme Court setbacks by emphasizing one decision he framed as a major victory for executive power.
In a Truth Social post cited in the source report, Trump called the court’s decision in Trump v. Slaughter “the biggest and most consequential Decision issued by the Court,” saying it overturned the “Humphrey’s Executor Rule” and gave “tremendous additional Power back to the Presidency.”
“It is an Honor to be the sitting President who, after all these years, WON this very important, and hard fought, Case,” Trump wrote, according to the report.
A birthright citizenship loss — and a congressional fallback
Trump also acknowledged what he described as a “Birthright Citizenship loss,” writing that his administration would “work to correct” the issue in Congress.
According to the source, Trump had issued a January 2025 executive order arguing that children of illegal aliens and visiting foreigners were not intended to receive birthright citizenship under the Constitution.
The report says Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a 6-3 opinion striking down Trump’s order, joined by Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Amy Coney Barrett. The report also says Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh partially concurred with the majority but disagreed on whether Trump’s order violated the 14th Amendment.
After the ruling, Trump shared a Just the News article reporting that federal lawmakers were discussing legislation modeled on his order. The report cited bills including the “Birthright Citizenship Act,” introduced by Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
As described in the source, those proposals would limit citizenship at birth to children with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident residing in the United States, or a lawful permanent resident serving in the military.
Election legislation becomes another pressure point
The source also linked the court’s rulings to renewed pressure on Republican lawmakers over election legislation.
According to the report, the Supreme Court sided with Mississippi in a case against the Republican National Committee, allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted up to five days later.
Conservative activist Scott Pressler then urged House Speaker Mike Johnson on X to attach the SAVE America Act to the National Defense Authorization Act.
“This isn’t coming from just me — I’m speaking for millions of voters,” Pressler wrote, according to the source.
Trump also criticized Senate inaction on the measure, saying on Truth Social that the House had approved the act three times while the Senate had failed to do so.
From court rulings to Congress
The source frames Trump’s response as an effort to turn court losses into pressure for congressional action. Trump’s own posts, as quoted in the report, show him celebrating an executive-power ruling while pushing lawmakers to revisit birthright citizenship and election policy through legislation.
