Question 45 of 128 · 2025 test
Who appoints federal judges?
2025 test only
This question is from the 2025 test, which applies if you filed Form N-400 on or after Oct 20, 2025: the officer asks up to 20 of the 128 questions and 12 correct answers pass. Earlier filers take the 2008 test - check your version on the official USCIS test-updates page.
Accepted answer
- The President (of the United States)
The 65/20 special consideration
Question 45 is not one of the 20 asterisked questions, so an applicant who qualifies for the 65/20 special consideration would not be asked it. Everyone else studies all 128.
