I only got 8 out of ten. Are you sure the Constitution wasn't written in 1492? LOL
Personally, I think that we should require anyone who runs for any public office to be able to pass the citizenship quiz. I'm terrified by how many professional politicians don't seem to know the basics about our government. Those running for national office should have to pass a special "world knowledge" test, things about other nations, the global economy, etc. I still remember Sarah Palin thinking that the Queen of England actually ruled GB. Sigh.
On a similar but unrelated topic, many states, including Texas, don't require coroners to be doctors. The job is an elected official, and can be held by anyone, regardless of qualifications. If you want to get away with a murder, do it in one of the many Texas rural counties that don't have any doctors. Unless it's an obvious crime (knife stuck in the body, etc.), there's a very good chance that the coroner will rule it a natural death and there won't even be a basic investigation - no autopsy, no toxicology testing. Maybe an enterprising agency could set up some Texas "murder" trips? - Want to get rid of a pesky spouse? Visit XYZ county in Texas. You'll get off scot free or we refund the full price of your trip. - LOL
