The House impeaches the president, the Senate tries. This also goes for all other government officials who are impeached. The Senate confirms major government officials, including members of the Supreme Court. The House has the power to choose the President under the scenario where no candidate has a majority of electoral votes (this happened in the past with the election of John Quincy Adams and many say this should have happened with the Bush-Gore contest).

Well, with our current system, your vote really doesn't count much. Especially in Presidential elections. The Electoral College is a huge disaster for MANY reasons, and has got to got. Evidence: George Bush is president.

YES. Bush became president. If he can do it, anyone can.

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.

The Electoral College is a controversial mechanism of presidential elections that was created by the framers of the U.S. Constitution as a compromise for the presidential election process. At the time, some politicians believed a purely popular election was too reckless, while others objected to giving Congress the power to select the president. The compromise was to set up an Electoral College system that allowed voters to vote for electors, who would then cast their votes for candidates, a system described in Article II, section 1 of the Constitution.

Not in this time and era. I would like just one person to be for the people that was elected by the people. Great leadership is non existent in today's America. All I have left to do is pick by party, and pick the lesser of the two evils. Good question.

The President is elected by Parliament from the candidates which have been nominated by the government. Our current president is APJ Abdul Kalam and the next presidential elections are due in 2007

In the 1824 US presidential election, none of the candidates received 50% of the electoral votes.  This meant that the election would be decided by the House of Representatives.  John Quincy Adams, who had received only 84 electoral votes compared with Andrew Jackson's 99 votes, was confirmed President.

In 1758, there was no America. The British Colonies in America were fighting off the French and Indians in the Seven Years War. Today there is an election based on an electoral college. They choose who the President will be.

The President would nominate the replacement, and the replacement would have to be confirmed by the Senate.  (This happened when Nixon nominated Ford to replace Spiro Agnew.  Ford, incidentally, became the first President to never be elected either President or Vice President.)

This is what I think should be done, we use the POPULAR vote to elect the president and in the event of a tie we use the electoral college to break the tie.

Supposedly the citizens of the USA, but we really only vote for the electoral college. The Electors are under no obligation to vote the way the people voted. That's democracy for you.
