Occurrences

Rep. Babin's Birthright Citizenship Act would clarify that automatic citizenship at birth applies only when at least one parent is: · A United States citizen or national; · A lawful permanent resident residing in the United States; or · A lawful immigrant serving on active duty in the United States Armed Forces.

Babin promoted his Birthright Citizenship Act as the legislative vehicle for Congress to reform birthright citizenship rules and restrict automatic citizenship at birth to specified parental status categories.

Babin materially attempted to fulfill the promise by sponsoring H.R.569, the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025, which closely matches the promised limitation on automatic citizenship at birth. However, the bill remained only introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, with no enactment or recorded committee/floor passage. Inclusion in the Republican Study Committee FY2026 Budget shows continued advocacy but not delivery of the promised federal policy outcome.
