- The Supreme Court is poised to rule Tuesday on the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s order declaring that children born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.
- The birthright citizenship decision, expected after the justices take the bench at 10 a.m. ET, marks the final day of a Supreme Court term that has largely affirmed Trump’s assertions of presidential power.
- The court handed Trump a major win Monday by upholding his authority to dismiss independent federal agency heads at will, thereby expanding presidential power and overturning a 91-year-old precedent.
- An exception to Monday's ruling was Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, who will remain in her post while she challenges President Trump’s attempt to remove her over allegations of mortgage fraud.
- Beyond the birthright citizenship case, the court is also expected to deliver judgments on separate cases concerning whether states can prohibit transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s public school and college teams, and on federal laws limiting political party spending in coordination with candidates.
