Conservative legal experts say President Donald Trump’s latest attempts to narrow birthright citizenship and crack down on birth tourism may have stronger legal footing than his first effort. After the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in June that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment, Trump issued two new executive orders taking narrower approaches to citizenship and birth tourism. The first, signed Aug. 6, directs federal agencies to withhold documents recognizing citizenship from certain children born when neither parent is a U.S. citizen, including some whose parents are members of designated foreign

Bitcoin treasury company Capital B plans to raise €21 million and use the proceeds, along with operating funds, to buy another 270 Bitcoin.

Closing was expected on Aug. 31 at the earliest, meaning neither the shares nor the planned Bitcoin purchase was complete when the deal was announced. C
