The Kansas City Star ran a short article today with a handful of questions that foreigners need to know to become U.S. citizens. How do you rate? Take the quiz:
1. Independence Day celebrates independence from whom?
2. Who elects the president of the United States?
3. How many voting members are in the House of Representatives?
4. What is the supreme law of the United States?
5. Who becomes president if both the president and vice president die?
6. Who said, "Give me liberty or give me death?"
7. In what year was the Constitution written?
8. Why did the pilgrims come to America?
9. What is the Bill of Rights?
10. Who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner"?
I'll post the answers later. I got nine out of ten correct (I missed number 7 by one year...doh!). Still, that's not bad, if I do say so myself! Looks like I'm qualified to be an American citizen! ;)
There's my two cents.
