Asking questions about how the government can handle a natural disaster is relevant. One, it depicts the responders confidence in government. If there was ever a time to bear arms, it’s after a natural disaster. Does one sit back and let the government protect their home and family from looters and anarchy, or do we bear arms and protect it ourselves…
It shows the perspective behind the answers. Just as he asked how many branches of the government and who the vice president is to put relevance to all the responders’ answers. If they answered who is vice president wrong, what does that say about depth of thought on the other answers?
Questions that do not seem relevant add legitimacy to whatever or however they answered.
