Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans
This executive order directs HHS to establish a 'Gold Standard' childhood vaccine schedule with fewer recommended vaccines than current CDC guidelines, mandates that MMR be administered as three separate single-disease shots when domestically available, and instructs the DOJ to challenge state vaccine mandates that do not provide religious or medical exemptions. It also orders HHS to develop alternative adjuvants to aluminum and improve vaccine safety monitoring, while preserving access to existing vaccines.
Continuing to Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship
This executive order directs federal agencies, including State, Justice, Homeland Security, and Social Security, to deny U.S. citizenship documentation to children born in the U.S. whose parents include alien enemies, foreign government employees, or those involved in commercial birth tourism or surrogacy, or who are born in territories without statutory citizenship. It implements a narrow interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment following the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara, effectively restricting birthright citizenship for specific categories of non-citizen parents.
Ending Birth Tourism
This executive order directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to prevent foreign nationals from entering the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas for the purpose of giving birth (birth tourism), including revoking visas, barring entry, and taking action against facilitators. It defines birth tourism as entry via nonimmigrant visa for childbirth and allows humanitarian or national interest exemptions.
