Name one right only for United States citizens.

Explanation

Only U.S. citizens may vote in federal elections or run for federal office.

Why it matters

These rights are core benefits of citizenship that non-citizens do not share.

The 65/20 special consideration

Question 50 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.
