Name your U.S. Representative.

Explanation

The answer depends on your congressional district. Residents of territories and D.C. may name a non-voting Delegate or Resident Commissioner.

Why it matters

You can look up your Representative by ZIP code at house.gov. Answers vary by district, so this question has no single national answer.

The 65/20 special consideration

Question 23 is not in the 65/20 set. An applicant who is 65 or older and has been a lawful permanent resident for 20 years or more studies only the 20 marked questions, so this one would not be asked. Everyone else studies all 100.
