President. questioning the constitutionality of this amendment is rather dubious. It is rather dubious because. if I understand the court decision that the Senator from New York is citing. it is a court decision that has to do with enumeration of persons under the census. In the first instance. this amendment does not deal with the question of the enumeration of persons. We do not say in this amendment that the census cannot toll the illegal aliens. It does not say that anywhere. So it is hard for me to understand how the Senator can cite a precedent that is in no way parallel to what is involved here.
