In order to become a US citizen, immigrants must pass the Naturalization Test. American citizenship bestows the right to vote, improves the likelihood of family members living in other countries to come and live in the US, gives eligibility for federal jobs, and can be a way to demonstrate loyalty to the US. Applicants must get 6 answers out of 10 in an oral exam to pass the test. According to US Citizenship and Immigration services, 92 percent of applicants pass this test.
You must get 58 or more of these test questions correct in order to pass.

If I recall correctly, one of the questions asks about rights given by the Declaration of Independence, which, as we know, bestows no rights whatsoever.
Haha maybe only 500. ;)

I answered them all correctly. It took wayyyy too long.
Hubby and I were at a Mexican restaurant a day or so after Election Day. Hubby had his “I Voted” sticker on the outside of his wallet. The guy at the register commented on it and said he is three months away from being eligible to vote. He said he has 150 questions to study and that he will be given 5 out of that 150 and that he must answer all five correctly. He is a bit scared about that part, but he seems like a bright guy. He speaks English well. I figured he was already a citizen based upon his demeanor. Ironically, that same day, there were three Mexican men discussing how one of them needed to present himself in case someone questioned his presence in the US. Their conversation ended when hubby sat down. LOL

This was current enough to cite Hurricane Sandy so was surprised it wasn’t upgraded to the 57 (or 58) states.
That format was terrible and I kept getting ‘error’ notices and I swear that 2 I had correct either didn’t take or were marked wrong...not sour grapes, just commenting...

HAHAHAHAHAHA
I think you are being way too generous...
He was confused on some of the questions regarding who was in charge. This is a result of the administrations ABUSE of the constitution certainly.
I would not pass because I’m not Mexican.
I forgot to mention he is home-schooled.

Not a matter of proving citizenship, but of regularly recognizing its privileges and obligations. I would encourage passing a citizenship examination as prerequisite to voting.
sorry...I guess I was being cranky....and I get it when one is around those who refuse to speak the language of the land. And by the by English was indeed declared the official language of the land (because it is what is used for government documents) back in the 1800s
and there you have it....good job at home schooling
BY the CONSTITUTION I AM a citizen end of story
