it is by the number of electoral college votes.  these are based on the populations of the states the larger the state the larger the number (ie cali and florida are big montana is low) it is not by majority vote or popular vote as some call it.

Well its complicated really. Each state has a certain number of electors that are based on the amount of congress persons that state has representing them in Washington. So if a state has 4 members in the House and 2 in the Senate, then the state has a total of 6 electors. If the popular vote is won by the republican candidate for a state then the republican candidate WILL get the electors for that sate. The only two states that are an exception to that rule are Maine and Nebraska. In those two states the electors could be divided between the candidates of both parties, but that has yet to happen. The complicated part is that the nation wide popular vote doesn't not guarantee one candidate will win. Each state has a certain number of electors, so the final result is based on the amount of electors received, and the amount of electors is based on Congress person, and the balance there is based on the population, not the amount of registered voters. For the most part the popular vote dose determine the winner, but there is a chance that the a candidate can win the presidency and loose the popular vote. To my knowledge this has only happened once in the history of the nation.

In the US:\n\nThe procedure is in two steps. The House of Representatives must first pass "articles of impeachment" by a simple majority. The articles of impeachment constitute the formal allegations. Upon their passage, the defendant has been "impeached."\n\nNext, the Senate tries the accused. In the case of the impeachment of a President, the Chief Justice of the United States presides over the proceedings. Otherwise, the Vice President, in his capacity of President of the Senate, or the President pro tempore of the Senate presides. This would include the impeachment of the Vice President him- or herself. In order to convict the accused, a two-thirds majority of the senators present is required.\n\nCheck the link for lots more information.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment#United_States

The Electoral college in many ways is a remnant of the past. It is bloated, cost too much money, and is ripe for corruption\n\nTwo US Presidents have been elected by the electoral vote, despite losing the popular vote! In a Democracy, the popular vote should always be more important.

Nationwide, there were hundreds of elections.\n\nThere is no electoral college for congressional seats.\n\nIf the candidate won, they got the majority popular vote.

Well, right off the bat, the US elects everybody by popular vote, right down to the local dogcatcher.\n\nThe confusion many people have is owing to our origins, where each individual colony of Great Britain was used to being separate from the others, and so when we formed the United States, each State had to have its concerns for Sovereignty [running its own local affairs] addressed.  So a system was devised to give the small states equal representation in the congress with the large ones, while also giving the people representation based on how many there are in each state [one representative per so many thousand].  So we have 2 senators from each state in the Senate.  And we have about 456 representatives in the House of Representatives.\n\nSenators and Representatives run for election based on membership in a party.  The people who want to run for office [British "stand" for office] for the Republican party have their names placed on the ballot by petition signed by a sufficient number of people.  Then there is an election to decide which of these Republicans will be the Republican candidate for the office in contest.  The same with the other parties.  This is called a primary election.  When that election decides who shall be the candidate from each party, then the people vote on the various condidates for the office in contest.\n\nWe do in fact have more than the 2 parties.  But the system is so old and our population is so much alike and our domestic issues are so continously the same that most people really are either Republicans or Democrats.\n\nAs far as the Presidential election goes, the Constitution does not provide for the direct election of the president.  It provides for the States [that old States' Right thing] to send Electors equal to the number of Representatives it has in Congress to vote on the candidates put forward, without mentioning how they are to be put forward.\n\nThe theory was that people would vote for Electors whose political views were known, and these Electors would gather together in a College and hash out who would be President among themselves, with the most populous states having the most votes because they have the most representatives in Congress.  \n\nBut rapidly, it fell out that parties would nominate a candidate and the people voted for the Electors who commmitted themselves to him, and then the Electors voted in the College for that person, even though they don't really have to.  \n\nWhat this results in is that candidates spend a lot of time in the most populous states because those states have the most Electors, and there is the rule that the candidate who gets the most votes, even if only 51%, gets ALL the Electors  from his state.\n\nThere is a lot of discussion about ditching this imperfect system in favor of absolute popular election.  Most people would go for it, but politicians like it because they can spout and posture in only a few states and win the election, even though they don't get the majority of the popular votes.

depends on the state or local laws.  for presidential elections, it still epends on the state laws.  sometimes people are on the ballot in one state but not the other.

During the time of the Convention a number of issues were addressed.  One of the primary concerns was how was the Congress of the United States to be structured and how would the members gain membership.  The suggested approaches were from a single house with hereditary members to a bicameral congress with all members elected directly from the people.  \n\nThe final version was a bicameral congressional structure with the upper house membership comprised of two members from each State and these elected by the legislature of the State from which they come.  The lower house was to have members in numbers defined by population and this would result in each State having unique numbers of representatives, and these representatives would represent the people of a given district and only the citizens of that district could vote for that representative.  \n\nIn this process people would be represented by a single directly elected representative.  The States each represented by two representatives.\n\nTo carry this further, the President would be elected by delegates to the Electoral College and delegates would be elected in a manner singularly directed by each State.\n\nThe members of the Supreme Court would be selected by the President with advise and consent of the Senate.\n\nThe pattern here should be obvious, that is, popular election of these offices was not desired by the Founders.  Even the members of the lower house were elected by small districts within each State.  \n\nI’m only guessing that this is what you were asking about, because there were other issues and your question wasn’t clear.

The constitution gives states the right to govern elections, and as all things at the state level, laws regarding elections are passed by the state legislature. The laws are enforced by the Division of Elections of the Department of State.

What you are describing is called the electoral college. In modern times the reps have voted the final vote for president and vice-president in accordance with the popular vote in the state. People object to it because theoretically a big state like N.Y. or California could swing the national popular vote count with their totals if they were overwhelmingly in favor of one candidate. Lots of controversy in the last couple of presidential elections over this. You could have someone from New York City whose policies favored urban interests elected even if the middle states voted against him or vice versa.\nIn the midterm elections or local elections such as we just had its one person =one vote. Your vote definitely counts on local issues and candidates and it does count in the presidential election in a little diferent way. Its just that you are voting as a state after you vote to decide what way your state goes.

Just like the Presidential nominee, by the convention delegates.\n\nThe Presidential candidate has recently chosen his running mate, but officially the VP slot on the ticket can only be filled according to the votes of the convention delegates. And yes, that is an official procedure.

The President and the Vice-President are the only officials elected by the entire country. However, there are requirements for holding either of these positions. In order to be elected, one must be at least 35 years old. Also, each candidate must be a natural-born U.S. citizen and have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years.\n\nWhen elected, the President serves a term of four years. At most, a President may serve two terms.\n\nNOTE: Before 1951, the President could serve as many terms as he wanted. However, every President had followed George Washington’s example of stepping down after two terms. Franklin D. Roosevelt broke with tradition. Roosevelt successfully ran for office four times. Early in his fourth term, in 1945, he died. Six years later, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment, which limits Presidents to two terms.\n\nThe President can be removed from office through the process of impeachment. If the House of Representatives feel that the President has committed acts of "Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors" they can impeach him with a majority vote. An impeachment is very similar to a legal indictment. It is not a conviction, however, and not enough to remove the President from office alone.\n\nThe case then goes to the Senate. Overseen by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Senate reviews the case and votes whether or not to convict the President. If they vote in favor of conviction by a two-thirds margin, then the President is removed from office.

Good explanation here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Electoral_College\n\nBasically, the people vote, and the representatives of the Electoral College get to cast the real vote.  Who gets to be in the Electoral College is based upon the people's vote.\n\nThe Electoral College can do something unexpected, and vote against the will of the people.  But that doesn't happen very often.\n\nSo really, the people's vote is simply to determine which PARTY gets to put someone into the Electoral College, to cast the REAL vote.  And then a very small number of real people - individuals who are in the Electoral College - determine who the President is, by casting a vote.\n\nYes, it's a stupid system!

In order for a person to become President, he or she must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years of age, and have resided in the United States for at least 14 years. Once elected, the President serves a term of four years and may be re-elected only once. \ncheck out this website for more info Hope this helps
