AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would remove people who are not U.S. citizens from the population count used to divide seats in the U.S. House of Representatives among the states. It would require the Secretary of Commerce to recalculate the 2020 census state totals using only citizens by January 31, 2027 (or March 31, 2027 with an extension), using federal and state records, and the President would then send Congress a new seat count for each state. Starting with the 2030 census, census forms would have to ask whether each person is a citizen, a non-citizen national, a lawfully residing noncitizen, or an unlawfully residing noncitizen, and the results by state would be made public. Lawsuits about the bill would go to a three-judge federal court panel on a fast schedule, with direct appeal to the Supreme Court.
