Could you pass the citizenship test?

[Afsil80]

80%, w00t, I can still go play Air Force today and not feel like I cheated the system.

[STiSchucky]

60% damnit

[StangerBanger96]

#18 is a sketchy question because the President can use armed forces without Congressional consent for up to 30 days. Frickin 18/20

[RidinRails]

7/20 haha

[amicheze]

70%. Did better than I thought I would.

[SmitEvo]

I don't think it's the presidents ability to "declare" war, but your right about him being able to take military action for a certain amount of time before governing body can stop him.

18/20 here too, I missed #9 & #19...#9 was 100% brain fart.

65%. Some of them you just have to guess on, unless you've had some sort of history class in the last 25 years (which I haven't).

[Bookem]

60%, all the ones I answered wrong I changed from my instinct to a different answer, otherwise would've only got one wrong.

[DelSlow]

90% in yo' face

[legacy-user-544]

[bubba]

If the guy I work with got his citizenship anyone can, he's not the brightest

[DelSlow]

i bet you googled stuff.

[bubba]

Nope, just sat and took the test...it's pretty much simple common knowledge questions...

[Gundar1]

50%

[thrash]

100%

Probably the trickiest one was knowing the 1787 date for the constitution, and then knowng which amendment didn't deal with voting rights (although that one you could make a reasonable guess at, since voting rights seems like an odd thing to show up in the bill of rights)

What's the point in making it hard to become a citizen when non-citizens get all of the government entitlement benefits anyway?

Our immigration policies are ridiculous. Brilliant technology guys from india, china, or whereever have to go through fits to get here on H1-B visas, but if you don't mind breaking the law then its no problem to get here, stay here, and collect partial benefits?

When you making doing the wrong thing easier than doing the right thing, of course people are going to do the wrong thing. Go visit Ellis Island and the Statue of liberty some time.. that's when we had a kick-ass immigration system in this country.. visiting really made me happy to be American.. and really upset me to think that that was about 100 years ago.. and how far we've fallen since.

I aint takin the test. I was born here and and my parents and thier parents, etc. I am already a citizen. And there's a few things I can do unlike most recent imigrants...... READ ENGLISH, SPEAK ENGLISH, AND EAT PORK!!!!

[XJHEAD]

I am actually embarrassed, I got a 75%

[Erik]

I got a 95%. I didn't think it was so bad.
