Pretty sure their 6 years was up a while ago. My favorite is card #27 Q: Name two Senators from your state. A: The answer depends upon on where you live. What if you live in Mexico? And do State Senators count? Since they asked to name two, there must me more. Card #30 is wrong. The head of the Executive Branch is Karl Rove. card #64 says the Cabinet "advises" the President.
