Whoah. Really? NONE? Do they have good English skills? Know that we have a single POTUS at any one time? Should one explain what is meant by terms like "governance?" What about "representative?" Is this mythical tabula rasa a foruth grader? A college student? A dog? I don't remember in school ever having a problem thinking of the person grading the test as being completely ignorant on the subject.
