Why does the United States have three branches of government?

Name two rights that are only for US citizens

Name two cabinet-level positions

Name one important idea found in the Declaration of Independence

The latest howler from our beloved government: a revised citizenship test:

They are going to test this new quiz on immigrant volunteers. What I would really like is for them to test it on some “real” citizens.

Here are some of the new questions:

I know! I know!!

2. Bigotry and Ignorance

3. Token black person, Secretary of Torture

4. Separate and Equal

5. Gather dust?
