Official Question & Answer

Question
What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?
✦ OFFICIAL ANSWER ✦
Serve on a jury; vote in a federal election

Why This Is the Answer

Responsibilities that belong only to U.S. citizens include serving on a jury and voting in a federal election. Name one.

These are both rights and responsibilities. Voting allows citizens to choose their leaders and shape government policy. Jury duty ensures that people are judged by their peers — fellow citizens.

Non-citizens living in the U.S. are not required (or allowed) to serve on juries or vote in federal elections. These become your responsibilities when you naturalize. This question is on the 65/20 senior list.

💡 Interview Tip

Pick one: 'Serve on a jury' or 'vote in a federal election.'
