<p>I scored a 95% but I have an issue with the one I got wrong (Who selectes the Supreme Court Justices).</p><p><u><font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13442226/">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13442226/</a></font></u></p>

<p>The President does appoint the justices though, then they are confirmed.</p><p>I disagreed with who can declare war, because the constitution states that the President can declare for 30 days without approval from congress.</p>

[El Mudo]

I got everything except for the INS form...

[PhishHead]

The INS form was one of the easiest ones.&nbsp; It says Application for Naturalization why wouldnt you choose that one??&nbsp; Petition is for when you have already been denied something.

[MasterSoySauce]

i got 90% the changes to the constitution i got wrong and who selects the justices although i think thats a trick question since the president doesnt really appoint them he picks a nominee but they have to be confirmed, i still am allowed in the country.

<p>Yeah and just went back and confirmed that.</p><p>I still think the President is the one who declares war first and the Congress has to validate it after some time.</p>

[PhishHead]

You are correct about that, which i stated in my argument way above.&nbsp; The President can declare ware for 30 days.

[JimBeam]

<p>Isnt it 90 days ?</p><p>I thought when George Bush Sr sent troops into Iraq the first time he had 90 days before Congress could get involved</p>

[PhishHead]

well whatever time frame it is.

[FreshJ]

The power to declaire war is one that was not given to the president, because they were afraid of the president having too much power (kind of like a dictator sending his people to be slaughtered)&nbsp; This is why the president cannot declare war, but in the past half centry presidents have taken on more resposniblity to declaire &quot;War&quot; or even &quot;Police Actions&quot; Because he is commander in cheif and can move his army as he likes it.<br />

[A.J.]

It's 60 days with the possibility of a 30 day extension as per <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Act_of_1973" target="_self">The War Powers Act of 1973</a>.
