President Donald Trump will make history today as he will be the first sitting president to join the chambers of the Supreme Court for oral arguments over the legitimacy of his executive order to end the disaster of birthright citizenship. Predictably, the media has already begun to freak out over his bold decision to listen in on what will be a landmark decision.
If President Trump attends the Supreme Court's oral arguments tomorrow on his birthright citizenship executive order like he says he will, he would be the first sitting president on record to do so. Presidents have avoided attendance in part to honor the separation of powers.

There’s literally a chair set up at SCOTUS for our presidents to sit in for oral argument. Your separation of powers nonsense is more imitation pearl-clutching hauteur. https://t.co/unVfZPgD9v

Trump has been at odds with the Supreme Court ever since they struck down his tariff agenda. A victory keeping the order in place, especially if it were to be codified by Congress, would be the single most consequential development on immigration in over a century.
