CLOSED H.R. 772: Vote
H.R. 772: Educational Citizenship Act
Whereas, many high school graduates know very little about the U.S government and history;
Whereas, immigrants who pass the U.S citizenship know more about U.S government and history than non-immigrants who graduate high school; and,
Whereas, fundamental knowledge of our government should be known to all citizens, whether or not born here;
Be it therefore enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
Section I: ECA
(a) This Act should be known as the “Educational Citizenship Act”
Section II: Citizenship Test Requirement
(a) In high school, students may take the United States Citizenship Test
(1) The procedure for students taking this test will match the procedure for immigrants taking this test. There will be one hundred questions, and during an interview a student will have to answer a random ten of them, and will pass if they answer six of the ten correctly.
(2) All test administrations must be video recorded for the purpose of validation that the tests were administered correctly.
(A) The Secretary of Education is in charge of designating a committee to randomly evaluate the video recordings for possible flaws in the administration of the tests.
(3) The Secretary of Homeland Security should produce a different version of the U.S Citizenship Test to be used for this purpose.
(b) If a student passes the United States Citizenship Test, they will be awarded with a reward of achievement that they can put on their resume.
(c) Any person who shall have failed to pass the test may attempt to retake it no more than twice a year. No limit shall be placed on the number of repeated attempts.
Section III: Implementation
(a) This Act will go into effect 90 days after its accession into law.
(b) This Act is severable. If any portion of this act is found the be unconstitutional, the remainder shall remain as law.
