Who does a U.S. Senator represent?

 If you asked me that question, I would say “The people of her or his state.”  

If I were an immigrant taking the citizenship test, that would now, under the new guidelines of the Trump administration, be marked wrong.  The correct answer, according to the administration, is “citizens” in the state.  


Actually, the Trump administration is wrong.  Bob Casey and Pat Toomey represent the people of Pennsylvania whether they be citizens or not.  


The test has also been made much harder.  For example there is a question on the 10th Amendment.  Could you tell me what is in the Tenth Amendment?  Could Trump?


The list of things that the Biden Administration has to fix gets longer every day.  This period between the election and the inauguration is way too long.
