26/30 missed 23, 24, 26, and 29. But I have to admit I guessed on a lot of the last ones.

I got 22, I am confused on one question how many full terms can a pres serve. I misread or I am not thinking clearly. I put unlimited. They can only serve two "consecutive" terms but can skip one then run again correct. Wouldn't that make it unlimited?

No, pres can serve a max of 10 years, so only 2 full terms, and a half for good measure

[LONEWOLF]

Thanks, was not aware of 10 max.

24... What do you mean 50 states??? :confused:

;)

26, apparently good for CO, didn't check my age group.

[denverd0n]

29/30... didn't know Eisenhower was born in Texas. Have to admit that it was pretty much a guess (although a somewhat educated one) about how many amendments have been proposed but not ratified.

[zero cool]

28/30 though I guessed on a few.

I missed 26 and 28. I read 26 too fast and missed one key word. Whoops. 28 was just a screwup on my part. I didn't know the right answer.
