That's when you just ignore 'em and do it anyway.

If you can insist there be 148 different Genders on a form. The're fuck all reason to not include citizenship.

Why are we so slowly adopting anarchy? Just get it over with already.

And, how about that confidentiality?
Last census, I got a call because I did not complete all questions.
"How much did you make last year?"
My response, "I already reported that to the IRS"
The caller would not let it go, citing that everything was confidential.
My response, "How do you think the genealogy research is done? - Census Records!"
No Confidentiality - but, that's just my two cents!

Any time I fill out anything that asks about my income I just pick the lowest choice available. If there aren?t choices and they want a number I usually just use $10K.

I don't like it either, but the census is specifically to identify the number of residents, not the number of citizens.

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which
may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be
determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to
Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other
Persons.

The space aliens are coming to kill us all. Read between the lines.

While I understand your assertion that since it doesn't specifically say "citizens" ….. but on the flip side, it also specifies other classified groups (Indians, slaves, etc) which could be considered the opportunity to quantify other groups, such as citizens. In fact, if you choose to follow a strict understanding of the constitutionally specified requirements, then all the other questions on the census that fall outside of those specified in the constitution need to be eliminated.

I am not a constitution literalist. But it is also not a "living document". Framer's intent is where it is at. Course, everyone understands intent differently...….
