Yeah, and I think I see why there would be a debate - the last words of that section I quoted above are:

in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.

I would think the Founding Fathers were talking about the “who’s gonna do it” as opposed to “how intrusive shall we get this time”, but I certainly take your point. And I bet you’re right that the bureau just hasn’t (so far) wanted to push it.

And who’s gonna do it, is the big issue I have this time around.

I can’t imagine the founders signing off on the long form.
