Are You American Enough To Be A Citizen?
    #5819294 - 07/04/06 09:50 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I am going to post part of an article from my local paper, and post the rest at a later date. I found it interesting, and very topical considering the day.

Are You American Enough To Be A Citizen?

Looking to become a U.S. citizen? The legal way, I mean. Uncle Sam has a little test for you. See, when immigrants foolishly follow the rules, and actually apply for citizenship rather than take the Midnight Express from sur of the border, they have to pass The United States History and Government Exam. 450,000 newcomers named Vladimir, Dipak, and Rosalito do it every year.

This doesn't insure that every new citizen is a walking encyclopedia of Americana, but at least they made the effort to learn something about their new adopted country rather than just knowing the way to San Jose (or your hometown). And, mi amigo, if you think the exam is easy as paella, try taking it yourself.

Applicants are asked fourteen questions from the printed study-list of a hundred. You'd get the necessary twelve correct, no sweat, right? Easier said than done. I chose 24 representative questions from the list, and quizzed 18 people who either live or work in this area. Ay Caramba!

Now I will ask us the questions, and in a few days I will post the correct answers. Good Luck.


    1.Who is the vice-president of the united states today?
    2. Who elects the President of the United States?
    3. What arethe three branches of our goverment?
    4. How Many Senators are there in congress?
    5. Name the two senators from your state (edit: come answer time this answer will only apply to my state, pa)
    6. For howl ong do we elect each senator?
    7. How many represenatives are there in Congress?
    8. What are the bill of rights?
    9. who becomes president of the Untited States if the President and the vice-president should die.
    10. Who said "Give me Liberty or give me death"?
    11. Which Countries were our enemies during World War II?
    12. What are the 49th and 50th states?
    13. How many terms can the president serve?
    14. According to the consitution a person must meet certain requirements in order be elgiible to become president. Name one of these requirements.
    15. How many supreme court Justices are there?
    16. Who was the main writer of the Declaration of Independace?
    17. Who was the President during the Civil War?
    18. What is the name of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America?
    19. Who has the power to declare war?
    20. What Kinda of Goverment does the United States Have?
    21. In what year was the consitituion written?

--

Try not to cheat, and in a few days i will post some answers.

I can answer most of those, but thanks to my conspiracy brainwashing, I'm not sure how to answer a few of those.  :smirk:
