I guess I can remain a citizen, but I know far less about voting rights amendments than I thought. No, not really.

Bah, I got 95%. Didn't you know it was form N-400 Randall? It's so obvious.

Actually, I didn't know which amendment was the voting rights amendment.
Yeah, I've got bureaucracy down pat.

80%. Wherever "the Old Country" is I might need to go back. I balked on who selects the Supreme Court. I said the Senate. I was thinking about confirmation, not appointment, and submit that that is a trick question! Still, if another Republican wins the Presidency in 2008 I'll be happy to pack my bags...

Of course the amazing thing is that while we expect potential citizens to know all this, we have a fit if anyone suggests that our schools require our native-born students know it. The 'me' generation strikes again!

No one had a fit.

Randall, I think our parents probably said the same thing, but things are slipping since then. I think dedawson hit the nail on the head, and that's probably what the article was out to prove. Regardless, stinkin voter rights amendments kept me from 100%.

90%. How would I know which form? My other miss was the 13 states, which I should be ashamed of.
See Mom, I told you I could have finished that Poli-Sci degree.

Someone explain to me how I missed only 2 but got an 85%. Mathematically this has to be incorrect.

interesting...I missed three and the site gave me a 85% also.. which correct based on a total of 20 questions.
