re: #78 Walter L. Newton

Is it? I don’t know for sure. I haven’t been able to find the actual info on who can or can’t be tasked with the census.

Neither have I. Here’s a site that discusses some of this, but it does look like the census falls under the Legislative branch, and the House specifically (under Article 1, Section 2). But, does that mean that they shouldn’t have turned it over to the Administrative branch (under Commerce) because of the way it’s written? I don’t know - maybe someone here knows more than I. (Well, there are a lot of folks who fit that, but you know what I mean.)
