3. Name 3 sitting Supreme Court Justices
4. Name 3 countries that sit on the UN security council
5. Name the current Secretary of State
etc...etc...
Randomly choose 10 question from a bank of 100 or so. Then lower the voting age to 16. Votes only count if you qualify.

*In the official US census offics counting the votes*
Man 1 -"Do we have all the votes from California?"
Man 2 -"Yep. 12,000 from San Frencisco, and 12 from L.A. All 12,012 people who passed the test voted."
Man 1 -"Did anyone pass the test in Arkansas this year?"
Man 2 -"Nope. They all put 'Clinton' for all the answers."
Man 1 -"Hey someone from Hawaii put 'Aloha' in the governers spot."
Man 2 -"It's a good thing these people can't choose their leader."
EDIT: Anyone who is mad at this, take the test without cheating and see if you pass.
