    40%, maybe sleeping through class wasn't such a good idea.

    100% easily. It might have taken me a bit longer and I might have had to try harder if it wasn't multiple choice. I could easily become a citizen if I wasn't born here.

    PS Any American stupid enough to fail at that should learn how to fellate a Smith and Weston.

    75% alright since I don't take American Government for another year I guess.

    70%

    Not bad though, as A) Canadian, and B) most of that either comes up on CNN or is in movies and television. The ascension thing was easy after the kerfuffle when Polaski or whatever her name is, became speaker of the house.

    I got 100%, though I guessed on the president during WWI since it completely slipped my mind for some reason.

    Why bother being an illegal if the test is that easy?

    The years of waiting on the acceptance list. It also doesn't help that we have a quota on the number of legal ones per year. For all the illegals entering our country now it would take decades for all them to enter legally.

    Eh, 75%. I was okay on the more historical stuff (Constitution, declaration of Independence) but the more modern stuff (asking about the House of Representatives and the Chief Justice etc.) caught me out.

    Agree.

    I grew up around a lot of agriculture, and the migrant workers (I assume that a lot of them were illegal) worked hard as balls. Have you ever seen an asparagus harvest?

    IMO, if they want to work then they should be allowed to stay... if "they're taking up all of our resources", then I'd be willing to trade "illegal" Mexican workers for American welfare queens any day of the week.

    A Brit knows more about us than many of our citizens do... sad...

    I can assure everyone that if you went on the streets of MYC asking who the Chief Justice of the USSC was, first, you'd get a lot of people asking what the fuck the USSC is. Maybe 1 or 2% would know he's the new guy, and only a slim few will say "Justice Roberts".

    Meh. I remember in 2002, in France weeks after Chirac named J-P Raffarin as PM nobody knew who he was...

    Anyways, I scored 60%. Not too bad, but it only shows that statistically I probably know less than half the answers, which is actually a bit sad.

    I got a 95% just because I forgot who the current Chief Justice was.

    100%, but I have crazy roommates who argue (loudly) over shit like this all day so it's nothing special.

    You answered 100% of questions correctly.

    ...That was the easiest damn test I've ever seen. Of course, I love History, so meh.

    85% I'm so ashamed. I took a class on this and got the number of justices wrong. It would have helped if I could still remember their names.

    90%. Thank you Aaron Sorkin for making "West Wing" one of the best TV dramas of all time. Had I not seen every episode multiple times, I'm not sure I would've cracked 50% on this thing.

    90% for me, but I don't care enough about modern politics - no more required classes - to know who the Chief Justice is since Renquist retired, and I wasn't quite sure if there were 24 or 27 Amendments.
