Questions 30, 38, 39 and 57 ask for the Speaker, the President, the Vice President and the Chief Justice: those answers are the same in every state and are on the full list with the names USCIS accepts.
Mikie Sherrill. She took office on January 20, 2026, after representing New Jersey’s 11th District in the U.S. House.
If you filed your N-400 before October 20, 2025, you take the 2008 test, where the same question appears as number 43; the answer is the same name.
