Miller v. Albright

Miller v. Albright (2000) was a U.S. Supreme Court case that addressed citizenship rights for children born outside the U.S. to American parents. The case involved a child whose American father recognized him as a citizen, while his American mother did not. The Court ruled that the law's different treatment of citizenship based on the parent's gender did not violate the Constitution. Essentially, the decision upheld laws requiring that fathers must take additional steps to secure citizenship for their children, reflecting historical legal distinctions regarding parentage and citizenship.
