Apparently, the average score for an American on this test is 49%. Even scarier, the average for politicians is 44%. How well will Bulbagarden do?

And I'm not thrilled with them marking down that a Constitutionally-mandated power is the ability to tax income. It's an amendment, but those are considered as much a part of the constitution as anything else. Amendments define "constitutionality."
