As per [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:PoggeJustin this], the user only changes He to He/she and Christianity to religion. With respect to the first case, this is a question based around the Constitution, and given that the Constitution does not disallow female presidents then the possibility of such must be recognised, even if it hasn't yet happened. As for the second, the "separation of Church and state" is not limited to Christianity (it is used in many countries with respect to Islam and Hinduism) and although the question appears in an American Government Exam it is not worded to apply only to America, and hence the phrase "censor religion" is indeed more appropriate to "censor Christianity". So while the user should be encouraged to discuss his edits on the talk page before editing course content, they are by no means "distorting the truth" or a blockable offense as a result [[User:TheGuy|TheGuy]] 00:19, 12 January 2008 (EST)

:Just to clarify, the specific wording of the question is "Which of the following '''must''' be true about every President of the United States? ", not "Which of the following '''has''' been true about every President of the United States?" There is no implication of the past tense, so whether or not every President has been male is irrelevant, because the question is about the limitations imposed by the Constitution for all past, present and future Presidents, and there is nothing in it which says a female cannot be President.
