It’s going to be 100 degrees this weekend — “feels like” temperature will be 110! — in DC.
So I will NOT be going outside. Neither should you!
Luckily, I have something to keep you occupied: A 10-question politics quiz!
I am doing these quizzes on summer Fridays. The regular Friday “Chris Crucial” will return after Labor Day — and after my wicked tan wears off.
Alright, let’s get to it! Answers are at the bottom of this post!
1. How old must a person be to run for President of the United States?
2. What state has a Senate seat that has NEVER been held by a Republican?
3. Donald Trump is campaigning with a Senate candidate this weekend. Who is it?
4. Who is the only president to date for whom English is a second language?
5. What is the name of Al Gore’s documentary on climate change?
6. How old is Jimmy Carter?
7. Which president banned alcohol from being served at the White House?
8. Which president established “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the U.S. National Anthem?
9. Who was the only president to be an Eagle Scout?
10. What percentage of the national popular vote did Ross Perot get in 1992?
ANSWERS
Hawaii
Dave McCormick (Pennsylvania)
Martin Van Buren (His first language was Dutch.)
99!
Rutherford B. Hayes (It was actually on the order of his wife!)
When I reach Jimmy Carter’s age, I hope to ace Chris’ summer-Friday politics quizzes. THAT’S the Inconvenient Truth…
I have to challenge you on one of these. 😁
Question 1 is, "How old must a person be to run for President of the United States?"
But the answer you provided, 35, is the age a person has to be to *serve* as president. A person can *run* and be elected when they're still 34, as long as they'll be 35 by inauguration day.
So I'm counting myself as correct on that one.
