GOP Lawmaker Calls for Probe of Obama Decision to Oversee Census - First 100 Days of Presidency - Politics FOXNews.com: "A Republican lawmaker is calling for an investigation of President Obama's plan to move the U.S. census into the White House.

Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is sending a letter to committee leaders requesting a hearing.

'I'm deeply concerned' about 'the White House controlling the day-to-day operations of the Census Bureau,' Blackburn told FOXNews.com."
------------------
I knew this was coming, and if it goes forward there will be a lawsuit over it. Article I, Section 2, of the Constitution says the census must be done as Congress directs, and Congress passed laws saying the Census Bureau is part of the Commerce Department, not the White House. If Obama wants to change that, fine, but I think he has to ask Congress to change the law and that will lead to a public debate.
