Census is in the Constitution as well

[dredmorbius]

Census as an activity is, though not a Census Department specifically. Though that may be a quibbling distinction.

Armed forces would be another Constitutionally mentioned function.

Pretty the sure the Census is mostly conducted by the USPS though.

[dredmorbius]

Incorrect.

Department of Commerce.

Ah, good to know, and thank you. Albeit, logistically carried out in large part through the mail. Would it be safe to say that they are intertwined, and the Department of Commerce is another made up beaurocracy, and if nixed the USPS would conduct the census?
