2008 test · Question 22 of 100
We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years?
Official USCIS answers
- two (2)
Why this is the answer
U.S. Representatives serve short terms so they stay closely connected to the voters in their district. Elections for the House of Representatives happen every two years.
💡 Memory tip: Think 'two years' — the House is the part of Congress that is always up for election.
This is the 2008 test, for N-400s filed before October 20, 2025. Filed on or after that date? Use the 2025 test.
