Answer 1

mmmmmmmmm the electoral process of Americans electing their president?

1st is the Primary elections this is a general election based on popular vote. The winners of each party select their candidate through the primary system where winner takes all the regional votes.

After the Primaries we have the general election where each state has a vote based on popular vote. These votes go to the electoral college in each state. The popular winner of each state vote wins the states entire electoral vote. After each state has been counted the candidate that obtains 270 electoral votes wins the election.

This is how Bush could win an election even if he did not win th popular vote. Each state based on size has a number of votes to give to the electoral college. By mathematically coordinating the state elections you can manipulate the numbers. California for example has the largest population and has the largest number of electoral votes. But if Bush wins Texas Arizona and Oklahoma it counters the votes from California and so on.

Answer 3

Basically, you gather up all your friends/family and picket in the streets. If you do it long enough, eventually your community will be like "wow they are really serious about this!" and word will spread, and eventually the whole country will know that you want to run for president. Then the FBI will invite you to a dinner party and interview you and ask you questions like "why do you want to be president?" This is where most people go wrong. They don't want you to answer seriously. They want to see how big your imagination is. So basically all you have to do is answer with the most random thing you can think of, like make a joke like Sarah Palin did, "What is the difference between a bulldog and an Alaskan woman? Lipstick." If you impress the FBI enough, they will support you and hand you over to the CIA. What the CIA does is a secret. Only the president and passed presidents know what that process is like. Good luck!

What the two people above said is the show presented however, no honest average people person would ever get the nomination! The seeded candidate will have to lie to the public via script while signing legislation to victimize the majority! Or the wealthy ruling class having everything their way, they look for candidate's who tell convincing lies! Our system is corrupt and should ended!
