Usha Vance's citizenship will not be affected by Trump's executive order
On Monday, January 20, following his inauguration ceremony, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders, one of which puts an end to birthright citizenship for children whose parents lack a legal status of citizenship in the US.
The signing led to many speculations about Usha Vance losing her citizenship in the wake of the order. However, the Times of India reports that the order would not affect Usha Vance's citizenship, because it will only be valid for those who are born in the country after 30 days from the date of the order.
Usha Vance's parents, Lakshmi and Krish Chilukuri, immigrated to the country from India in the 1980s, and have since established successful careers there. Krish is an aerospace engineer and lecturer at San Diego University, while Lakshmi is a biologist and provost at the University of California.
However, there's no specific information available about the exact date Usha Vance's parents gained American citizenship in publicly available records.
Several civil rights and immigrant advocates sued Trump following his signing, one of which was the American Civil Liberties Union.
Trump's executive order is yet to take effect
Per Indian Express, birthright citizenship is a legal principle that automatically grants citizenship to a child upon their birth in the country.
At present, two forms of birth-related citizenship are granted in the US; the first one is ancestry-based and the second is birthplace-based. The latter, also known as just soli (the 'right of the soil' in Latin), offers unrestricted citizenship based on the place of birth. This right is guaranteed by the US Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment.
However, Trump's latest executive order explains that the "privilege" of US citizenship is "a priceless and profound gift".
According to the news outlet, ending birthright citizenship would first require a constitutional amendment with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as the approval by three-quarters of US states.
Since Trump's the Republicans have a majority in both Houses, the possibility of the order coming into effect is high.
Trump's intentions about citizenship and immigration have never been a secret in the country. Back in 2024, the president said in an NBC interview that he believed children of unauthorized immigrants should be deported alongside their parents, regardless of whether or not they were born in the US. He said:
"I don’t want to be breaking up families, so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back."
