Civics 101: The US Constitution

[rogue06]

Missed Washington's VP

That was the only one I wasn't certain about.

[rogue06]

Got 'em all. But then when I was in High School I even got the trick questions that were used in the old voting/literacy tests that were used to exclude folks they didn't like.

The only one I remember was "What is the term of a Supreme Court Justice?"

The correct answer: Life but conditional -- they are subject to impeachment

[RumTumTugger]

The loophole question about the maximum amount of time a president can serve is a dirty, rotten trick.

no it isn't the information is in the constitution. and for your infomraiton I that is the only question I missed math was not my strong point but I am kicking myself not to self 8+2 is 10

15/15, got them all correct. What do I win?

[Juvenal]

Missed Washington's VP — which isn't strictly about the constitution — and the extra 2 years loophole for president.

So I'm claiming all but one.

I missed precisely the same ones as Sparko. I wonder if I would do as well with a quiz on the Australian constitution... we don't really talk about it as much as youse guys.

[Sparko]

I missed the one about the max length a president can serve. And missed who is president if the vice-president cant be.

[seer]

Missed two but I am a "Constitution Master! Wow! You are a true Sentinel of Justice!" I got three and seven wrong...

[Teallaura]

If it makes y'all feel better, I missed one, too.

I don't know why - I knew full well Adams was the first constitutional VP but I went with Hamilton like an idiot.

[Zymologist]

I missed one. Darn question #3....

[Bill the Cat]

I missed one. But it is kind of debatable because...


The Vice President functions as the tie-breaking vote for the Senate, which is a function of the Legislative Branch, therefore, he technically belongs to both branches. But I understand what they are asking, and I get why I missed it

[Manwë Súlimo]

I missed one.
