Apportionment of Elected Representatives
A hearing was held on apportionment and citizenship, titled "Counting the Vote: Should Only U.S. Citizens Be Included in Apportioning Our Elected Representatives?" The committee first heard from Representative Miller on her proposed joint resolution to amend the Constitution to mandate that only U.S. citizens were counted in census data for apportionment purposes. Mr. Gonzalez and two demographers comprised a second panel that testified on the impact of non-citizens on apportionment, the impact on the Electoral College, and eligibility of Latino permanent residents. Legal and academic scholars participated in the third panel. They discussed potential effects on census accuracy, promotion of naturalization, and the legal aspects of the proposal.

Presidential Remarks on the Economy
President Obama spoke about the U.S. economy, invoking Theodore Roosevelt's populism and challenging Republican belief in trickle-down economic theory. In his remarks he said the theory spoke to individualism but "has never worked," and that the nation was at "a make-or-break moment for the middle class." He promoted his economic priorities, including the extension and expansion of Social Security payroll tax cuts, and said a strong economy started with education, which he declared a "national mission."Show Less
