Yikes I failed! I suck at Government!! I wonder how I passed in High School?

I aced it, but have been studying with my wife for her civics test, probably would have gotten 50% right or wrong if I didn't. But multiple guess type tests are a lot easier than being asked a verbal question. Ha, I know the answer, and it's on the tip of my tongue kind of thing.
What if they asked to recite all nine members of the supreme court, name all hundred senators and their states, and all 435 members of congress, and their states, all 50 states and their capitals, and a word for word recitation of the 27 amendments of the constitution? Ha, don't believe anyone can do that.
Recall in the eight grade memorizing the Declaration of Independence that was set to music, but forgot that the next day. Has anyone here read the 11,000 page IRS tax law and can recite all the IRS forms, or can you even state all the immigration forms and briefly state what they are for? In this respect, even knowing the basics of the US Constitution would be easy. Already wrote to my senator, if he is looking for something to do, to burn all the old laws and come up with something simple. It started off that way.
We also have 1,525 government agencies that most were formed within the last 35 years that each has their own set of laws. Then our congress talks about passing new laws that are already on the books. Illegals have been clearly defined, but they want new laws, but were never enforced in the first place.
If asked a question by your interviewer, wouldn't you like to answer a question with another question? Like, why is it whenever I call the USCIS and talk to a different office, I get a different answer? Ha, better not, just go in with a smile on your face and a halo on your head.
