The Emmy Award-winning “CBS News Sunday Morning,” hosted by Lee Cowan, broadcasts every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. ET, with streaming available on the CBS News app from 11:00 a.m. ET. The program’s cover story focuses on the implications of an executive order signed by President Trump in January 2025, which aims to limit birthright citizenship for children born to parents in the U.S. illegally or temporarily, potentially impacting around 250,000 children annually, as reported by the Pew Research Center. The legality of this order is currently under review by the Supreme Court. The show also highlights the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota, profiles Shooter Jennings’ efforts to preserve his father’s music, and features a discussion with comedian John Mulaney on sobriety and fatherhood. Additionally, it pays tribute to notable figures who passed away during the week and explores the artistic relationship between Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot in a Cleveland exhibition.
Why It Matters
Birthright citizenship, established by the 14th Amendment, has been a fundamental aspect of U.S. immigration policy since its ratification in 1868. The potential changes to this policy could alter the legal landscape for thousands of children and their families, raising questions about the rights of individuals born in the United States. The Supreme Court’s review of Trump’s executive order will set a significant precedent that could either uphold or challenge long-standing interpretations of citizenship law. Additionally, the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library marks an important cultural development, celebrating the legacy of a president who championed conservation and progressive reforms, while the arts segments highlight the continuing influence of historical figures in contemporary culture.
