With Independence Day (the day, not the movie) upon us, it made me think back to when I became an American citizen. I went with my dad, whose grasp of the English language was, to put it nicely, a little shaky. Sadly, he did better on the test than I did. And I was in college at this point!
Thank goodness for the guy who gave me the test. He totally gave me the answers. How many Supreme Court justices are there? I dunno ... 7? No? Um, how about 15? No? Doh!
I wonder how many "Americans" could pass the test. I say that if you're going to complain about immigrants in this country, you should be forced to take the test. No passy, no bitchy.
How would you do? Give it a shot: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19552808/
It's harder than it looks! :-)

OK I totally just got 90%. I missed the one about one of the amendments and one about war. Go me! I get to stay!
Yay! Good, because I really like visiting Florida... :-)
this is the same as the Canadian citizen test.... most would get it wrong. I know I would have trouble with some of the questions.
good thing I am not a citizen.... or looking to become one!
30% isn't good at all!!!
LOL. No, you'd get shipped right out of the country. Good thing there's no fence separating Canada and the U.S. Hee hee. :-)
