American Government · System of Government65/20 special consideration question
Accepted answer(s)
- the Senate and House (of Representatives)
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 Senate and House (of Representatives)" first — it's the answer USCIS lists as the primary accepted response.
This is question 17 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov. This question is worded the same way on the 2025 Civics Test.
