    Today I learned that if Obama and Biden got blowed up, we'd be stuck with Boehner.

    Harsh Sarah.

    But well played. xD

    e; As there's no prohibition on non-US people being anywhere in the line of succession except the Presidency itself (Actually I'm not sure about the Veep), I wonder how far down you'd have to go before people would say "Okay the person third in line is from Canada but the next surviving person is 153rd to the Presidency, so maybe we need to make the Canadian the President"?

    Also, would there be any basis for calling a snap election if you went far enough down the chain or the successor was not of the elected President's party? I know Albert questioned whether it was appropriate for him, a Democrat, to take the post when Watergate was playing out because the public had elected a Republican.

    37/50. Is this actually anything like the US citizenship test, because the UK one (which I took) was much harder. Had to memorise dates and everything.

    Who is the first Emperor of the Han Dynasty?

    What is the name of the first dynasty of china?
    Emperor Gao.

    Mythically, the first were the Five Emperors. The first one actually attested by other sources is the... well trout, I think it was the Shang Dynasty? Or Xia? One of those was first but I can't remember which! e; After this post I looked at Mo-Nercy's and I'm pretty sure he's right, it was the Zhou Dynasty.
    Actually "Gao" is more of a title usually given to the founding emperors of a Dynasty. Liu Bang as mentioned by Nercy, is more accurate.

    It's Xia --> Shang --> Zhou --> Spring Autumns --> Warring --> Qin --> Contention between Han and Chu ---> Han ---> more on the list!

    We don't count the mythical emperors. Those are myths~~~

    So I guess Mo Nercy knows his stuffs and as for you...
