特朗普政府未在法定期限内向美国最高法院提交申请，要求其重新考虑关于出生地公民身份的裁决[1]。25天的申请期限已于周二届满而未提交任何文件[1]。
最高法院在6月以6比3的多数意见驳回了特朗普的行政命令，该命令试图拒绝给予在美国出生但父母非法入境或临时逗留的儿童自动公民身份[1]。特朗普曾在判决后一周通过社交媒体表示将"立即"申请最高法院复审[1]。
法律专家指出，批准复审申请面临巨大障碍[1]。美国最高法院超过50年未同意复审已经进行过口头辩论的案件，最近一次批准改变意见的申请发生在1965年，最后一次推翻既有决定则是在1956年[1]。根据法律教授Aaron-Andrew Bruhl的分析，要使复审申请获得批准，至少需要一位反对特朗普的法官改变立场，且法院多数需要同意[1]。
The Trump administration failed to file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court before the deadline to reconsider its decision striking down a presidential order on birthright citizenship [1]. The Court had ruled 6-3 in June to overturn Trump's executive order, which sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the United States whose parents entered the country illegally or held temporary status [1].
Trump had vowed on social media within a week of the ruling that he would seek Supreme Court reconsideration "immediately," yet no filing was submitted before the 25-day statutory deadline expired on Tuesday [1]. Legal experts note that winning such a petition would require at least one justice who sided against Trump to change position and have the majority agree to revisit the case [1]. The Supreme Court has not agreed to reconsider a case it has already argued in over 50 years, with the last time it approved a motion to reconsider being in 1965 and the last reversal of a prior decision occurring in 1956 [1].
