For our US members, or for those who study the US system from elsewhere:

What do you think is enough knowledge to have an effective discussion of the US Political/Government/Regulatory/Fiscal system?

I've read posts that make statements that are simply incorrect on underlying issues and/or have a lack of knowledge of the seperatation of functions. Several posts I've read over the last year had someone's position with the correct government (ie, one post had a State Senator listed as a US Senator).

What do WPers think is a good working knowledge for effective discussion of these topics?

That would be a good start, yes.
