2008 civics test · Question 20 · System of Government
Who is one of your state's U.S. Senators now?
One of the 20 questions for the 65/20 special consideration
Your answer will vary
The correct answer depends on you: on your state, or on who holds the office right now.
Answers will vary. District of Columbia residents and residents of U.S. territories should answer that D.C. (or the territory where the applicant lives) has no U.S. Senators.
USCIS publishes the current answers to these questions at uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates .
