84.85% — 28/33. Not bad for a foreigner, I'd say.

Here's the note about one of the questions I got wrong:

Question: What part of the government has the power to declare war?
Your Answer: the president
Correct Answer: Congress

My question: has anyone told this to Obama?

Yes. He is not interested since he is not calling it a "war". It is a Kinetic Military Action (KMA) no, I am not kidding.

BTW the president can commit the troops for 60 days if he is convinced that it is necessary before going to Congress for a Declaration of War or, what seems to be the equivalent now days, Authorization of the Use of Force. This was meant for times of emergency such as the British or Canada invading while Congress was out of town.

It was not meant for how Obama is using it.

Someone should also tell Obama AND the Kucinich followers that the war powers resolution is unconstitutional.
