Twenty Questions

Much has been made lately about the quality of our educational system, as well as the level of engagement of the electorate in general.  These are simply factual questions and they are not partisan in nature.  If you pay attention at all you probably will be able to do quite well.  Please sit down with pen and paper (ok, smart phone and notes app), and see how many you can answer.
Answer the following questions without looking them up or getting help.  For questions about people please provide a first and last name.  The answers are easily available from any browser or Wikipedia, or just ask someone who is paying attention.  Be honest and put the number you get right out of 20 in the comments.
1.       Who is the current President of the United States?  ___________________
2.       Who is the current US Vice President?  _____________________________
3.       Who is the current US Secretary of State?  __________________________
