BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- President Donald Trump has said that he plans to issue an executive order overriding the long-accepted constitutional guarantee of citizenship to children who are born in the United States. Indiana University constitutional law experts Dawn Johnsen and Gerard Magliocca are available to speak with the news media.
Johnson is the Walter W. Foskett Professor of Law in the IU Maurer School of Law at IU Bloomington. She served in the U.S. Justice Department under President Bill Clinton, including as the acting assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, which provides legal advice to the attorney general, president and executive branch agencies. From 1988 to 1993, she was legal director of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League. She serves on the board of the Guttmacher Institute, a leading sexual and reproductive health research and policy organization, and on the academic advisory board of the American Constitution Society.
Magliocca, the Samuel R. Rosen Professor at the IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, is the author of four books and over 20 articles on constitutional law and intellectual property. He received his undergraduate degree from Stanford and his law degree from Yale, and he joined the IU faculty after two years at Covington and Burling and one year as a law clerk for Judge Guido Calabresi on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. Three of his books have been the subjects of programs on C-Span’s Book TV, including his latest book, on the Bill of Rights.
