Washington--The American president rather than Congress has authority to decide policy on matters of sovereignty such as the US stance on the status of Jerusalem, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.

The top court was called to rule on the matter after lawmakers gave their backing to a citizen who wanted his US passport to record his birthplace as "Jerusalem, Israel."
