Census by Executive Order

Once again today Donald Trump spoke from a driveway outside the White House; that location has become a substitute a the Press Briefing Room.  While there, Trump suggested he might issue an executive order, to force a question regarding citizenship into the 2020 Census.

The poor man can't quit embarrassing himself, or us.  Article 1, Section 2, Clause c of our Constitution defines the interval - every ten years - at which a census must be taken.  It also gives Congress, and specifically the House of Representatives, control over the methods by which the census should be conducted.

Nowhere, in 1.2.c, is there any mention of citizenship.
