On Thursday, the court wanted to keep the rules about who can be a citizen. They also wanted to find a way to make fewer rules for the whole country.

The court was not sure about the decision. Most judges said they were worried if the government could stop children from being citizens because their parents are in the US without permission.

The judges listened to reasons about Trump's rules. The rules say who can be a citizen. Some courts said no to these rules. Trump asked the judges to say yes.

Some court orders stopped Trump from changing the government, and this made Trump and his friends unhappy.

Since January, judges have made 40 orders about the whole country. This was said in court by a lawyer, D. John Sauer. He spoke for over two hours.

The government wants the court to quickly decide about some things, like who can be a citizen when they are born here. These things are about people coming to live in this country.

We can start this case fast, and it may work in the whole country.

But when Amy Coney Barrett asked, Sauer said the old government might not like the lawsuit or try to make it slower.

It is not common to talk about urgent court cases. Usually, the judges talk about the main problem.

But the government did not ask the court about the big problem now. If the court agrees with the government, we don't know how long the rules for children born in the US will be different in different places.

We will know by the end of June.
