Political game show idea- Can You Beat Jim Crow? Jeff Foxworthy hosts a show that asks contestants questions from literacy tests given to blacks during the Jim Crow era. Below are the four questions in Part C of one such literacy test in 1960s Alabama. See how many you could have answered, and be honest (I got 1 of 4).
1-If a person charged with treason denies his guilt, how many persons must testify against him before he can be convicted?
2-At what time of day on January 20th each four years does the term of the President of the United States end?
3-If the President does not wish to sign a bill, how many days is he allowed in which to return it to Congress for reconsideration?
4-If a bill is passed by Congress and the President refuses to sign it and does not send it back to Congress in session within the specified period of time, is the bill defeated, or does it become law?
