<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's official. Warriors center Adonal Foyle is a U.S. citizen. Well, technically, a formality remains. Foyle has to be sworn in March 13 at the Nob Hill Masonic Center in San Francisco. But Thursday, he cleared the final hurdle in his application for citizenship -- passing an oral exam on American history. "It's awesome," said Foyle, adding that he will maintain his citizenship in his native country, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. "Now I get to vote. I get to travel with a U.S. passport. I've got to uphold the Constitution, which is my document, my truth. That's pretty huge. Any time you swear allegiance to anything, that's huge. I'm swearing to uphold the Constitution. I'm swearing to be ready if I am called upon for war." Foyle darted over to the federal building in downtown Oakland after practice Thursday to take an oral exam. He was given about a hundred questions to study -- including how many constitutional amendments there are (27) and which of them deal with voter rights (the 15th, 19th and 26th); who said, "Give me liberty or give me death" (Patrick Henry); and what were the 13 original colonies (you'll just have to look that up).</div> Full Story Congrats to Adonal.

Citizenship test is quite easy for those who attended schools. I actually printed out practice test from some website, and studied while I was riding Bart to a interviewing place. Took roughly 40 seconds to answer 10 questions...
