American Government · System of Government65/20 special consideration question
Accepted answer(s)
- Four (4) years
USCIS officers ask this on the 2025 Civics Test because understanding "american government" is core to how the U.S. system works day to day. Memorize the exact answer above rather than a paraphrase — officers accept the wording USCIS publishes, and "Four (4) years" is the safest phrasing to say out loud in the interview.
This is question 36 of the 2025 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
