The Supreme Court will soon decide whether the Trump administration’s executive order limiting who can be born an American is constitutional, and whether “all persons born or naturalized in the United States”—save for those who are here under unique circumstances, such as children of foreign dignitaries—are citizens of the union. This week on Radio Atlantic, Adam Harris is joined by Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer to explore birthright citizenship and what it means to be an American.  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

  • I'm Karla Lawley, cookbook author and snack enthusiast.

  • Do you have a sweet tooth?

  • Check out Sweets Unwrapped, a podcast from Ferrero and Atlantic Rethink, the Atlantic's creative marketing studio.

  • Together, we're celebrating the traditions that make life sweet.

  • Tune in now.

  • And we're live on matchday as Doug reaches for a Buffalo wing.

  • He's got it!

  • Oh, and he's gone for a can of Pepsi too!

  • What a finish!

  • There's no doubt about it.

  • It just tastes better.

  • Matchdays deserve Pepsi.

  • So you think about today's discourse about birthright citizenship and these, you know,

  • sometimes veiled, sometimes overt assertions that America is a white man's country.

  • You know, the people who wrote the 14th Amendment did not believe that.

  • They insisted that that was wrong and they inscribed the equality of man into the Constitution

  • in a much more sincere way than the original founders.

  • I'm Adam Harris.

  • This is Radio Atlantic.

  • And this is our first Monday episode of the show.
