28 of thirty, not bad, but not considering what I do for a living. I got screwed on the how many ammendments proposed and the date of pasage questions. I also inferred on the assasintion one. I remembered Garfield, Kennedy and Lincoln, so it couldn't have been 2, ergo 4. But who is the fourth? I'm spacing on it and feeling too lazy to google.

Missed 4. The amendment questions got me, and I missed the John Adams question.

I motivated myself. The fourth was William Mckinley. I am now doubly embarrassed as the election of 1896 was a very big one. :-\ And oh, by the way, it put TR in office. Not like I should have remembered that or anything. :-[

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

30 out of 30,  did guess on 2 of them.

TAB,

it should also be noted that the question about who can declare war is kind of a trick question...  the president can wage war(for 30 days with out the approval of congress) only congress can declare it.   I missed that question on a Poly sci test in college, went to talk to the prof about it, got a earfull and a half.
