Wow, I'm getting rusty on my US history... 80%

	2. When was the Constitution written?
	1774 is not correct. 1787

	14. We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?
	4 is not correct. 6

	19. Who is the Chief Justice of the United States?

I hit 20 of 20, but two got me a bit confused. As far as Van's comment, he'll be the first to bitch about kids being born here who automatically get citizenship although they're parents aren't American. And I wasn't born in this country, but still American.

I missed John Roberts and the first words of the Constitution. But the rest of it I knew. Test ain't that hard. They should make it tougher.

We're a pretty bright lot on this board, I would guess that we're top 80% in the country when it comes to this test if not higher.

For the vast majority of Americans, they wouldn't get 10 of 20 right, now that I think about it, that's why Van posted his negativity, he took the test and failed miserably so he had to resort to 'birthright'.

well the US is a great country, and a nice place to visit... but I really wouldn't want to be a citizen there.

(I did do 18/20 on that test though.)

The test looks a little easier than the previous one. I helped my wife study for her citizenship test a couple of years ago. I didn't ace it but I should have. I just watched "The American Revolution" narrated by Charles Kuralt. It was playing all day on the 4th.....loaded with tons of trivia I never knew. Fascinating stuff.

(no need to duck and run for that one, Phil.)

well... I suppose if I had to, I would.
and if I did need some kind of surgery in the US, the cost would be covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan... one of the benefits of Canadian citizenship.

(as you guys know... and I have expounded ad nauseum) my biggest beef with the US is the raw deal so many of its citizens get financially with the US healthcare system.

that said... I do love coming down to the States... actually, I'm at Steve's place in NJ right now... Babs and I are heading into Manhattan this afternoon, and staying at a mid-town hotel for a few days.
