President-elect Donald Trump wants to end birthright citizenship.

The 14th Amendment says "all persons born or naturalized in the United States " are citizens of the country.

Trump has suggested limiting the birthright to newborns with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
