Are you a commie, a mutant, or a traitor? The Computer wants you to take the test, citizen. Trust The Computer. The Computer is Your Friend.

19/20 here. Couldn't remember off the top of my head how man Representatives are in the House of Representatives currently.

[_The Nehor]

I got 18 right, got Susan B. Anthony confused with someone else and couldn't remember who was the Chief Justice.

[_Gazelam]

I got 75%.

I missed the number of amendments to the Constitution, How many years a senator is elected for, Who takes office if both the president and vice president are killed, the name of the Chief Justice, and what Susan B Anthony did.

[_Bond...James Bond]

20/20 I rule.

I can't even do a British Citezen[sp?] ship test never mind a US one.
