President Trump vows to end birthright citizenship through an executive order. But what is birthright citizenship? And why was it amended to the Constitution?

He insisted that he could end birthright citizenship in the United States, even though many legal scholars and House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan say it would be unconstitutional to do so.
