Correct the Count Act

This bill would order the federal government to run a population count that includes only U.S. citizens. It tells the Census Bureau to ask every household to mark whether each person is a citizen, and to use that information so that any official population totals only include citizens.

Key points:

• Who is affected: All households asked to fill out the census; non-citizens would not be included in population totals.
• What changes: The census form would add a checkbox (or similar) to mark citizenship for each person in the home; official counts would include only citizens.
• When: The count would begin as soon as the bill becomes law.
