Would have added a requirement that the census count citizenship and that only citizens be counted when dividing House seats.

Liberty position: Yea
The Senate voted: 45 Yea, 51 Nay
Why Yea is the liberty side: It stops illegal immigration from adding House seats to states with large non-citizen populations.

Counted under the principle Citizenship and the rule of law.

I say Yea was the liberty side. Agree, or not? Readers argue it here, in their own words. Not mine, and not checked the way a vote is.

Leave out anything private about anyone. The rules, what your account keeps, and what readers have changed so far

Would you score it differently?
