Trump v. Barbara · ¶310

The ordinary principles of constitutional interpretation— the ones on which this Court typically relies when presented with a constitutional question such as this one—support the conclusion that the Citizenship Clause requires domicile. That conclusion is supported by the constitutional text, contemporaneous evidence, early executive practice, early legislative practice, judicial precedent, and all of the other indicators of original public meaning. The Court’s alternative account does not have a similar degree of support.
