The problems with Congress isn't stupidity (not that they aren't stupid), it's corruption. There's no quiz for that.

Beyond that, considering the history of tests as a precondition for participation in American politics...funny that it comes up as often as it does. Plus, if there was a test, isn't that something that'd quite possibly be on it?

Is there any evidence that there's corruption in US congress?
Call if what you will. If Congress is serving corporations rather than the people that could lead to trouble.
