Why some civics answers are different for you
Some answers depend on where you live
A few civics questions ask about the officials who represent you: your two U.S. senators, your representative in the House, your governor and your state capital. The right answer depends on your state, and for your representative, on your congressional district.
Some answers change with elections
Other answers change with elections and appointments: the President, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House and the Chief Justice. USCIS says you must name the official serving on the day of your interview, so check again shortly before it.
Washington, D.C. and the territories
If you live in D.C. or a U.S. territory, the official answer for senators is that D.C. (or your territory) has no U.S. senators. D.C. residents answer that D.C. does not have a governor.
Where these answers come from
Senators and representatives come from the public congress-legislators dataset, governors are checked against the National Governors Association, and your district comes from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each answer shows the date we last checked it.
