Trump drops executive action on U.S. Census, will seek citizenship survey by other means

A government official confirmed that Trump is expected to announce he will drop the legal battle to include the question on the census survey and instead direct the Commerce Department to obtain answers on citizenship through other means, but it was not clear how that would occur or how it would be funded.
The U.S. Census Bureau is part of the Commerce Department. The U.S. Constitution specifically assigns the job of overseeing the census to Congress, limiting the authority of the president over it, which complicates adding the question to the decennial survey via presidential missive.
Trump’s decision not to proceed with an executive order on adding the citizenship question to the census was first reported by ABC News.
Uh oh.

Oops.

Damn. The Census determines representation, not meaningless surveys.
Tired of caving to the Left.

Looks like the immigration enforcement vehicle Trump uses only has three gears, all operating in reverse.

I don’t need any more evidence that President Trump has very little control of the executive branch.

Executive branch?
I suspect that drooling kumtwat has very little control of his bladder.
