"It's common sense that kids today should have an understanding of basic US civics," Republican state Rep. Walt Rogers told the Des Moines Register. (CNN has reached out to Rogers for comment but has yet to hear back.)

The Iowa test will ask questions from a set of 100. You'll have to answer 10 questions. The House Study Bill 573 says that in order to successfully pass the test, students will need to achieve a score of at least 60%.

Would you be able to graduate high school if you had to take this exam? Because the test is similar to the citizenship test, take this quiz and find out.

Former President Barack Obama tweeted a picture and a quote in response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, this weekend, and he has gotten a record-setting amount of engagement from Twitter users. The first of his series of threaded tweets has accumulated about 2.8 million "likes," making it the most approved of tweet of all time.

Citing Nelson Mandela, Obama wrote, "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion ... People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love ... For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

The former record-holder is a tweet from pop star Ariana Grande telling fans that she was "broken" after a bombing of her concert in Manchester killed at least 22 people, including some children. It has about 2.7 million "likes."

The third most-popular tweet of all time is far more lighthearted: Ellen DeGeneres' Oscars selfie.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has fumbled while using the social media platform. He retweeted and then deleted two messages on Tuesday, one that featured a cartoon train running down a character intended to represent the news network CNN and one that called the President a fascist.

Also on Tuesday, after three CEOs stepped down from their positions on his manufacturing advisory council, Trump used Twitter to accuse them of being " grandstanders." Shortly after that tweet went up, a fourth CEO also stepped down.

The President has come under criticism for his overall handling of the events in Charlottesville. On Saturday, instead of criticizing racists and neo-Nazis by name, Trump referred to violence "on many sides." Only two days later, on Monday afternoon, did he explicitly condemn white supremacists. By then, much of the PR damage had already been done.

The National Assembly Building of South Korea. Editorial credit: Sean Pavone / Shutterstock.com.

The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic with three principal branches of government: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. South Korea has a centralized government that primarily operates at the national level. The head of the government is the president. The highest member of the national assembly is the president, followed by the prime minister and then the ministers. The judiciary and executive branches operate majorly at the national level. The constitution determines the structure of the government.

The Executive Branch Of The Government

The president is the head of the executive branch of the national assembly. He or she is directly elected by the people and serves for a term of five years. After the term, he or she is not legible for a second term in service. He or she is the only elected member of the executive. They have the power to declare a state of emergency or war as long as the national assembly approves it. They are the Head of state and the national assembly and also the Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces of South Korea. Members of the executive are liable for impeachment by the national assembly in case of misconduct of the office. It consists of various ministries and independent government agencies.

Ministries Of South Korea

South Korea has seventeen ministers who are appointed by the president. The prime minister heads the departments, and all the ministers report directly to him. The ministries have affiliate ministries which report to the prime minister and the minister in charge.

Independent Agencies

The executive also comprises of independent agencies. Some of the agencies report to the president as some report to the prime minister. The representatives of these ministries can assume the position of the president apart from the prime minister.

The Legislative Branch Of The Government

The legislature is made up of the national assembly which has a total of 300 members. 244 members are elected from the various constituencies and 56 through proportional representation. The members of the national assembly serve for a term of four years and by-elections are held should a member be unable to serve the full term. Its primary functions are to pass and amend laws of the country, to audit the national budget and procedures of administration, to ratify treaties and to approve state appointments. It has the mandate to impeach high officials. It has a committee of seventeen members who must first deliberate on complicated policy matters and bills before they reach the floor.

The Judiciary Of South Korea

The judiciary branch is made up of the supreme courts, and other tribunals distributed all over the country. The president appoints the chief justice upon consent of the national assembly. The other judges are appointed by the president but upon the suggestion of the chief justice. The judges are liable to serve for a term of six years. All the judges must pass through a two-year legal training in the Judicial and Training Institute. The Supreme Court heads the judiciary and is the final court of appeal according to the Korean law. The constitutional court only deals with matters concerning the constitution review and impeachments.

South Korea is a multi-party state. Elections take place every five years to elect the President and the members of the national assembly. The National Election Commission oversees the elections. It has local governments that are granted autonomy and have their executive and legislative branches. However, autonomy does not extend to the judiciary and the independent agencies. The three branches of the government operate under the system of balance and checks in a way that each branch's operation is checked by the members of the other branches.

DIG IT AWARD FINALIST: CYBERSECURITY

Hacking the Pentagon for patriotism and profit

The Defense Digital Service is charged with using private-sector talent and best practices to improve critical Defense Department systems -- and hopefully modernize DOD's IT mindset in the process. Hack the Pentagon, a bug-bounty program that was tested this past spring, did both.

DOD partnered with HackerOne, a San Francisco-based bug-bounty management startup. More than 1,400 hackers signed up, and the first bug was reported just 13 minutes after the program began. In all, 138 bounties were paid for confirmed vulnerabilities in the five sites that were tested. Individual bounties ranged from $100 to $15,000, depending on the severity of the bug discovered.

The cost of the pilot was approximately $150,000, and Pentagon officials estimated that a traditional security audit to discover those same holes would have cost $1 million. Arguably more important than the money, however, was the policy and planning work to make a government bug-bounty program feasible.

"We spent a tremendous amount of time with our legal team and all of the stakeholders across the departments to make sure that we defined our rules and restrictions down to a T," said Lisa Wiswell, the Defense Digital Service's digital security lead. "You have to make sure that you tell folks what they can do and, almost even more importantly, what they cannot do."

DOD is now working on a permanent bug-bounty program and issued a request for proposals in August. Other agencies, meanwhile, are looking to the Defense Digital Service for advice on developing programs of their own.

My name is Julia, and I heard you speak at the 2015 Reclaiming America For Christ conference in Oklahoma!

The message you brought was amazing, I was very inspired by it, and so I purchased your book Liberty First - The Path To Restoring America.

Your book was equally inspiring, and I quickly learned that I not only wanted to do something for my country, but that it was my duty as a U.S. citizen to fight for our Liberty.

While I was reading your book I told a friend how much I was learning and how much she needed to read it too. She quickly got the book, we started reading together, and we knew we needed to do something together.

We just launched (a new website) today (8-1-16), and I wanted to thank you for all you do and for being the first one to inspire me to do something!
