The Speaker leads the House of Representatives. This answer is kept current from the officials file.

Why it matters

The 65/20 special consideration

Question 47 is not in the 65/20 set. An applicant who is 65 or older and has been a lawful permanent resident for 20 years or more studies only the 20 marked questions, so this one would not be asked. Everyone else studies all 100.
