And most people I have met who are naturalized know more about our government than native born. I understand about how they denied voting rights to blacks but they gave ridiculous questions. I think it should be basic multiple choice. What are the three branches of government. When was the constitution ratified, who was the first president? Easy stuff you learned in 5th grade. It would definitely weed out a lot of the goober types who have no idea how the government works. And chump would not be our president today.
