American Government · System of Government

Accepted answer(s)

  • the Speaker of the House

This is an American Government question on the 2008 Civics Test, testing whether an applicant understands the structure of American government rather than just current officeholders. If you're unsure, focus on remembering "the Speaker of the House" first — it's the answer USCIS lists as the primary accepted response.

This is question 31 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
