Story by Emily Prescott•
Rep. Andy Barr speaking at House Committee hearing
Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) has proposed a constitutional amendment to limit birthright citizenship, stating that U.S.-born individuals qualify only if at least one parent is a citizen, permanent resident, or legal-status military member. The measure aims to address what Barr sees as legal ambiguities in the 14th Amendment. Supporters argue it will clarify citizenship rules, while critics warn it could undermine immigrant rights.

By Anthony Blair
Published July 8, 2025, 7:16 p.m. ET
US Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was pictured at the Parthenon in Greece, reportedly 24 hours after devastating floods hit the Hill Country of his home state, killing at least 105 people.
The photo came as Cruz said he flew back to Texas “as fast as humanly possible,” leaving Sunday and returning to the Lone Star State that night.
However, flight data show multiple earlier flights that could have gotten him home sooner.
Cruz’s office told The Post on Tuesday that he was on a pre-planned vacation with his family when the floods struck early July 4.
“Within hours, he spoke by phone with Governor [Greg] Abbott, Lt. Governor [Dan] Patrick, Texas emergency management director Nim Kidd, and President Trump, working to ensure that the maximum federal assets were available for search and rescue,” a spokesperson said.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz sightseeing at the Parthenon in Greece on July 5 while his state was flooded.
“He and his team worked closely with local officials and with families of missing girls throughout that time. He promptly booked a flight back home. Given the time difference, he left Athens on Sunday morning and was back in Texas that night. And he was in Kerrville on the ground early Monday morning,” the statement continued, adding that he had returned home “as fast as humanly possible.”
There were multiple flights on Saturday from Athens to major US hubs that would have connected to San Antonio, near the floods — including planes to JFK, Newark, Chicago and Washington Dulles, according to flight data.
It isn’t known how many seats would have been available on those flights.
