I thought I did poorly at 23 but I sent my score to the White House and they added in the 3000% health care cure adjustment so I really got 6300 out of 30 YAY ME

I think we would all be very unsuprised, yet incredibly disappointed in Congress’ results of the quiz.

30 out of 30 on the Independence Day quiz. That was easy!! I took the Presidents Day quiz. That was a little harder. Got an 18 out of 20 on that one. I missed the one about what was the most common first name for a President and who got elected with the lowest percentage of votes. I thought that one was Clinton but it was Abraham Lincoln. Was shocked about that one.

Also, how many states there are really threw me off. I thought there were 57 per the current office holder... : )

"Wasn’t sure on that one at all."

That was kind of a trick question because even though the 18th has been repealed, it is still a valid and ratified amendment. Now if we could only get the 16th and 17th repealed we might start getting our republic back again.

28/30 :~) Number 17 was a trick question, right?

“Easy” in that there were actually a couple I could answer. They’re usually even harder than that.
