I am not speaking here of the institution of Congress as trival. That is a different topic.
It's the State of the Union tonight, the president's annual, Constitutionally-mandated address to the Congress discussing, you know, the state of the union. In honor of that, I thought it would be fun to serve up some Congressional trivia questions. Cookies (winner's choice) will be made for the person with the most correct answers.
Answers will be posted on Friday, January 26.
1. James Madison High School in Brooklyn has graduated three men currently serving in the U.S. Senate. Who are they? Hint: None of them are in the same political party.
2. Three states have only women representing them in the Senate. Name the states and the women.
3. Two sisters currently serve in Congress. They represent the same state. Name the state and the sisters.
4. There are ten declared 2008 presidential contenders sitting in the audience tonight who are current members of Congress. Who are they? Hint: Each party has 5.
1) Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
ReplyDeleteChuck Schumer (D-NY)
Norm Coleman (R-MN)
2) CA: Feinstein & Boxer
ME: Collins & Snow
3) CA, Linda and Loretta Sanchez
4) D: Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Kucinich, Obama
R: Brownback, McCain, Paul, Romney, and Tancredo (what about Duncan Hunter?)
