特朗普签署了两项行政令，试图限制美国出生公民权[1]。这是继最高法院在6月驳回其之前相关努力后的再次尝试[1]。最高法院的判决维持了对出生公民权的广泛保护[1]。美国民权联盟预测特朗普的第二次尝试同样将面临法律障碍[1]。
关于经济政策，美国媒体的事实核查发现特朗普的经济成就声称存在部分夸大[1]。根据AP-NORC民调，仅32%的美国成年人批准特朗普对经济的处理，而69%的美国人将当前经济状况描述为"糟糕"[1]。
参议院委员会投票以党派线方式裁定福奇藐视国会[1]。福奇在作证时援引第五修正案超过100次拒绝回答有关新冠疫情的问题[1]。肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗主张宪法保护不适用于福奇，理由是福奇去年获得了拜登的赦免[1]。
President Trump signed two executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship in the United States, representing a renewed attempt following the Supreme Court's rejection of his previous efforts on this matter.[1] The high court had dismissed Trump's earlier push in June, upholding the broad interpretation of birthright citizenship rights.[1] The American Civil Liberties Union has predicted that Trump's second attempt will similarly face legal defeat.[1]
In a parallel development, a Senate committee voted along party lines to find Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.[1] Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times while declining to answer questions related to COVID-19.[1] Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul argued that constitutional protections should not apply to Fauci, citing the fact that Fauci received a pardon from President Biden last year.[1]
Meanwhile, media fact-checking of Trump's economic claims has revealed exaggerations in some of his assertions.[1] According to an AP-NORC poll, only 32 percent of American adults approve of Trump's handling of the economy.[1] Additionally, 69 percent of Americans describe the economy as "poor."[1]
