They are or "were" less detailed. My wife took one years ago to get her citizenship. The questions were very basic: "What are the branches of government?; How many senators does each state have?; etc." The examiner, a judge, could tell that she knew it well but went through the motions anyway. He finally got to the question "Who was president during the Civil War?". She grinned at him and replied, "Jefferson Davis". He laughed and said, "You pass."
I wonder if they have that sense of humor these days.

I think you really know the answer to that question: Hell no!
Congratulations on your wife’s citizenship. Becoming an American is a wonderful thing. That is what makes the illegal immigration so bad. Loving Americans like your wife who worked for her citizenship should be celebrated.
