Can You Pass a U.S. Citizenship Test?

These are some of the hardest questions pulled from the 100 civics questions about U.S. history and government and given to applicants for naturalization by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Department.

A USCIS worker will ask each applicant up to 10 of the 100 questions for the naturalization test, and applicants must earn a score of at least 6/10 (60%).
Try these 'not so easy' questions below: 

Question 1: If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

Question 2: The House of Representatives has how many voting members?

Question 3: Who is the Chief Justice of the United States now?

Question 4: Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the states. What is one power of the states? 

Question 5: Why did colonists fight the British? 

Question 6: When was the Constitution written?

Question 7: The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the U.S. Constitution. Name one of the writers. 

Question 8: What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803? 

Question 9: Before he was President, Eisenhower was a general. What war was he in?

Question 10: Name one of the two longest rivers in the U.S.
Before looking at the answers here, how many do you think you got right? You need at least 6 out of 10 correct to pass the Citizenship Test.
