10 of 10.

Apparently I'm an idealistic idiot. I thought we had term limits for senators and representitives. I guess if it were my bread and butter, I wouldn't vote to give my job a time limit.
We may never get rid of Brownback.....
But I got all the others right!

Got 9. I was surprised. :) Don't know what I got wrong though... I guess that's a reason to go back and take it again...

For those of you wondering where you high school civics teacher let you down. Extra information is for your own personal edification.
1. Senators have no term limits (Republicans' Contract With America was supposed to enforce voluntary term limits, but none of them really followed up on that).
2. The President is inaugurated in January (Originally it was March until the 20th Ammendment).
3. Washington was the first Commander in Chief (Only Washington and Madison actually commanded troops on the battlefield as President).
4. The introduction to the Constitution is the Preamble (It's only one sentence).
5. The Constitution was written in 1787 (Commissioned in '86, Ratified in '89).
6. Congress declares war (Although this has been circumvented numerous times - Gulf of Tonkin, Authroization for the Use of Military Force, etc).
7. Jefferson was the main writer.
8. America faught Germany, Italy, and Japan.
9. Vermont wasn't an original state (the land was part of New York).
10. The Revolutionary war was against England (seriously, did anybody not get this one?)
Congratulations! You're all citizens now! Share with your friends over drinks!

Well I got them all..but given Iraq I and Iraq II people could be forgiven for getting number 6 wrong. Looks like many recent presidents would fail this one. Oh another New England State that was not part of the orignial 13 is Maine. It was originally part of my home state Massachusetts.
