Andy has seen all of these at some point in his life. He thinks
Spoiler
the Statue of Liberty has "give me your weak, your tired, your poor" but isn't sure how much else there is. He knows the Second Amendment is pretty brief. He's least familiar with the Preamble to the Constitution and was watching the oath of office with his hands over his eyes.
Spoiler
Andy's +1 is his dad, Alan. Alan agrees the Second Amendment is short. He would have to guess, but he thinks maybe it'd be the Preamble. They get through "We the people...in order to form a more perfect union" and aren't sure if it stops shortly after that...
Spoiler
50/50 leaves Preamble to the U.S. Constitution & Poem on the Statue of Liberty.
Andy remembers that the poem also mentions "my torch," which would be a separate sentence.
