Trump said he would ask the Supreme Court to reconsider his birthright order. The clock’s run out. - Politico

What the report says

Politico reported on July 29 that President Donald Trump did not follow through within the available window on a stated plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit its decision against his birthright citizenship order. The publication’s headline says the deadline to seek reconsideration had expired, after Trump had said he would ask the justices to take another look.

The specific Supreme Court ruling and the full article text were not available in the supplied material, so details such as the vote, procedural posture and exact deadline are not confirmed here. In general, requests for rehearing at the Supreme Court are uncommon and must be filed within a short period after a decision, making missed deadlines significant because they can close off that procedural route.

The dispute matters because birthright citizenship is a foundational part of U.S. citizenship law, commonly tied to the 14th Amendment’s guarantee for people born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction. Trump’s order was part of a broader effort to change how that principle applies, and a ruling against it would represent a major legal barrier unless revived through another proceeding.

Politico’s report indicates that, despite Trump’s earlier statement, the administration’s immediate chance to ask the justices to reconsider that ruling had passed. Any further effort would likely need to come through a different legal mechanism or related case, depending on what remains available in the courts.
