HR 2337 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify birthright citizenship, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to modify the definition of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the birthright citizenship provision. Under the bill, a person born in the United States would be considered subject to U.S. jurisdiction only if born to a parent who is, at the time of birth, either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. The change would apply only to persons born after the bill's enactment, effectively narrowing the scope of automatic birthright citizenship from current law.
