25/30
Those amendment questions got me good. Never knew that Ike was Texan and the W. wasn't.

Nah, I think GWB was born in Connecticut, although I could be wrong. And Nixon was pure West Coast, as I said earlier. That narrowed the guess for me down to 50/50, which is good odds any day of the week.

But once again, why would we expect a naturalized citizen to know what is clearly trivia? I mean, laws, anthems, amendments, system of government, great. But presidential birthplaces? That seems a little ... I dunno ... non-essential.

That is correct. The 'Texan' from Connecticut.

I have to be honest though, I randomly guessed a couple of them. That "quote" had me clueless. I knew about the amendments except for the Liquer one which was another guess.

15. Like Louis, I felt that some were obvious, some completely unknown to me.
