The team of elected US President Donald Trump has begun exploring options for canceling the automatic acquisition of American citizenship by place of birth.

According to CNN, one of the options under consideration involves denying citizenship to children if their parents are in the US without passports. Additionally, measures are being drafted to strengthen the requirements for issuing tourist visas.

Trump has opposed the right to citizenship by place of birth, protected by the 14th Amendment, for many years, stating that he would take executive action to prohibit it.

According to two sources familiar with the plan, his allies are privately developing strategies to achieve this goal, including directing the State Department not to issue passports to children whose parents lack documentation and tightening tourist visa requirements to stop 'birth tourism'.

The Trump team is putting forward several options for strengthening the interpretation, fully aware that any actions are likely to be challenged in court and ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
