It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you today as a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America. I am here to share with you my vision for our great nation, and to ask for your support in making it a reality.America has always been the land of opportunity, a beacon of hope for people from all corners of the world. We have achieved greatness through our ingenuity, our hard work, and our unwavering commitment to the principles upon which our nation was founded. However, we have also faced challenges and setbacks along the way. Today, we stand at a crossroads, and it is time for us to come together and forge a brighter future for ourselves and for our children.First and foremost, I want to address the issue of economic prosperity. Our economy has been struggling in recent years, with too many families facing financial hardship. It is my goal to create a strong, thriving economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.To achieve this, I will take the following steps:1. Invest in infrastructure: We need to rebuild and modernize our roads, bridges, airports, and public transportation systems. This will create jobs, improve our quality of life, and make America more competitive in the global market.2. Support small businesses: Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I will provide them with the resources and support they need to grow and thrive, and I will eliminate unnecessary regulations that hinder their success.3. Encourage innovation: America has always been a leader in innovation, but we need to continue to foster this spirit. I will invest in research and development, and I will promote policies that encourage entrepreneurs to take risks and create new jobs.4. Create fair trade agreements: We need to ensure that our trade agreements are fair and beneficial for all parties involved. I will negotiate new trade deals that protect American jobs and promote economic growth.In addition to economic prosperity, I am committed to ensuring that every American has access to quality healthcare. Healthcare should not be a luxury, but a right. I will take the following actions to achieve this goal:1. Expand access to healthcare: I will work to ensure that every American has access to affordable, quality healthcare. This includes expanding Medicaid, implementing a public option, and supporting community health centers.2. Lower prescription drug prices: The cost of prescription drugs is skyrocketing, and it is putting an unbearable burden on American families. I will negotiate lower prices with pharmaceutical companies and implement policies to reduce the cost of prescription drugs.3. Prevent chronic diseases: Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in our country. I will invest in public health initiatives to prevent chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, and improve the overall health of our nation.I am also deeply concerned about the state of our environment. Climate change is a real and urgent threat, and we must take action now to mitigate its effects. I will take the following steps to protect our planet:1. Transition to renewable energy: I will invest in renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, and phase out fossil fuels. This will create jobs, reduce pollution, and help us combat climate change.2. Preserve our natural resources: I will work to preserve our natural resources, such as our forests, rivers, and oceans. This includes implementing stricter regulations on pollution and protecting endangered species.3. Support sustainable agriculture: I will promote sustainable agricultural practices that protect our soil, water, and air, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.In addition to these key issues, I am committed to addressing the following:1. Education: I will invest in our public schools and make college affordable for all Americans. Education is the key to our future, and we must ensure that every child has access to a quality education.2. Immigration: I will implement a fair and humane immigration policy that recognizes the contributions of immigrants to our country. We must come together as a nation and embrace diversity.3. National security: I will ensure that our military is strong and capable of defending our nation. I will also work to prevent conflicts and promote peace around the world.In conclusion, I am running for president because I believe in America.I believe in the power of our people, the strength of our values, and the promise of our future. I am ready to lead our nation forward, and I ask for your support.Together, we can create a future where every American has the opportunity to achieve their dreams. Together, we can build a stronger, more prosperous, and more just America.Thank you, and God bless America.。

It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you today as a candidate for the highest office in the land, the President of the United States of America. I am here not just as an individual, but as a representative of the American dream, the values that have made our nation great, and the aspirations of millions of citizens who seek a brighter future.First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to all of you for giving me this opportunity to address you. I understand the gravity of the moment and the challenges that lie ahead. The United States is at a crossroads, and we need strong, visionary leadership to guide us through these tumultuous times.As we gather here today, our nation is facing a myriad of issues that demand immediate attention. The economy is fragile, with millions of Americans still struggling to find employment and provide for their families. Our healthcare system is broken, leaving many without access to quality care. Climate change poses a looming threat to our planet, and we must act with urgency to protect our environment for future generations. Our moral fabric is being tested, as we witness the systemic racism and inequality that have long plagued our society. And, of course, we must address the global pandemic that has upended ourlives and challenged our resolve.I believe that the time has come for a new vision, a new direction, anda new approach to leadership. My campaign is not just about me; it is about us – the American people. It is about bringing together all Americans, regardless of race, religion, gender, or politicalaffiliation, to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more united nation.Let me outline my vision for America:Economic Revival:Our economy must be the cornerstone of our nation's strength. I will work tirelessly to create jobs, promote innovation, and ensure that our workers have the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. We will invest in infrastructure, modernize our manufacturing sector, anddevelop renewable energy sources to secure our energy independence. We will also crack down on corporate greed and ensure that the benefits of economic growth are shared by all Americans.Healthcare for All:Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. I will fight to ensurethat every American has access to affordable, high-quality healthcare. We will expand Medicare to cover all Americans, including those under 65, and make it easier for people to access prescription drugs. We will also invest in research and development to combat diseases and improve healthcare outcomes for all.Climate Action:The climate crisis is an existential threat to our planet, and we must act now. I will lead the United States in a global effort to combat climate change, investing in renewable energy, reforesting our lands,and transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy. We will also support developing nations in their efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change.Social Justice and Equality:We must confront the systemic racism and inequality that have long been a stain on our nation. I will work to reform our criminal justice system, promote equal opportunity in education and employment, and fight for the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants. We will build a society where everyone has a fair shot at success and where our diversity is celebrated as our greatest strength.Global Leadership:The United States must once again be a beacon of hope and a force for good in the world. I will work to rebuild alliances with our allies, engage in diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts, and promote peace and stability across the globe. We will stand firm against tyranny and oppression, and we will support the democratic ideals that have guided our nation since its inception.In order to achieve this vision, we must come together as a nation. We must bridge the divides that have been created by politics, ignorance, and fear. We must recognize that we are all in this together, and that our collective strength is our greatest asset.As your President, I will listen to your concerns, hear your stories, and fight for your rights. I will be a voice for the voiceless, a champion for the underdog, and a leader who will never compromise on the values that define us as Americans.I ask for your support, your votes, and your commitment to our shared future. Together, we can overcome the challenges that lie ahead andbuild a brighter, more hopeful America.In conclusion, let me leave you with this thought: Our nation is at a critical juncture. The choice we make in the coming months will determine the kind of world we leave behind for our children and grandchildren. Will we choose division and despair, or will we choose unity and progress? The answer lies in each of us.Thank you, and God bless America.[Applause]。

美国选举总统的发言稿英语Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Americans, it is an honor and privilege to stand before you today as a candidate for the highest office in the land – the President of the United States.As we stand on the precipice of a new era, facing countless challenges and opportunities, I am compelled to speak to you about the future of our great nation. This election is not just about choosing a leader, it is about defining the direction of our country for years to come. It is about choosing a path that will lead us toward a prosperous and just society, a path that will unite us, rather than divide us.I believe that America is at its best when we come together as one, when we work towards common goals and when we lift each other up. This is the America that I envision and it is the America that I will fight for as your President.First and foremost, I want to address the issue of unity. In recent years, our country has become increasingly divided along political, racial and economic lines. This division has weakened us as a nation and hindered our ability to address the important issues that affect all Americans. As your President, I will work tirelessly to bridge the gap between the left and the right, to foster understanding and dialogue, and to encourage cooperation across party lines. I will strive to create an inclusive and united America, where every voice is heard and every perspective is valued.In order to achieve this vision of unity, we must address the economic disparities that exist in our society. Far too manyAmericans are struggling to make ends meet, while a small minority reaps the benefits of a rigged system. As your President, I will fight for economic justice, for a fair and equitable society where opportunity is not limited to the privileged few. I will work to create jobs, raise the minimum wage, and ensure that every American has access to quality healthcare and education. I will fight to close the wealth gap and ensure that the American dream is within reach for all.In addition to economic inequality, we must also confront the pressing issue of climate change. Our planet is in crisis and we cannot afford to ignore the warnings of scientists any longer. As your President, I will take bold action to combat climate change and protect our environment for future generations. I will invest in renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions, and work towards a sustainable future for our planet. This is not just an environmental issue, it is a moral imperative that we cannot afford to ignore.Furthermore, we must address the urgent need for criminal justice reform. Our justice system is broken, leading to mass incarceration and the perpetuation of racial inequality. As your President, I will work to reform our criminal justice system, end the war on drugs, and address the root causes of crime. I will fight for equal justice under the law and work towards a society where the color of your skin does not determine your fate.Finally, I want to speak to the importance of our role in the global community. America has always been a beacon of freedom and democracy, and it is essential that we continue to uphold these values on the world stage. As your President, I will work tostrengthen our alliances, promote diplomacy, and address global challenges such as terrorism, refugee crises, and human rights abuses. I will lead with integrity and moral authority, and work towards a world where America is respected and admired as a force for good.Ladies and gentlemen, the challenges before us are great, but so too is the potential for progress. It is my firm belief that, together, we can build a better future for our children and grandchildren. As your President, I will fight tirelessly for the values that make America great – equality, justice, and opportunity for all. I ask for your support and your vote, so that together, we can usher in a new era of progress and prosperity for the United States of America. Thank you, and God bless America.。

election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the 50U.S. states or the District of Columbia cast ballots for members of the Electoral College, known as electors. These electors then in turn cast direct votes, known as electoral votes, in their respective state capitals for President and Vice President of the United States. Each of the states casts as many electoral votes as the total number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress, while Washington, D.C. casts the same number of electoral votes as the least-represented state, which is three.Once the voting for the presidential election has concluded and all the votes for each state have been accounted for, the electors are then advised as to what candidate won the majority in their state. The electors of that state then will cast the vote of that candidate to represent the people of their regions majority decision. However, “Twenty one states do not have provisions that are fairl y specific in directing the electors to vote for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of their party.”[1] This means that an elector could possibly vote against the majority decision of the state due to their being no law that binds electors otherwise in those states. In modern times, almost all electors vote for a particular presidential candidate that theirstates majority decided upon; thus, the results of the election can generally be determined based on the state-by-state popular vote. The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes for President or Vice President (currently, at least 270 out of a total of 538) is then projected to be elected to that office. If no candidate receives an absolute majority of electoral votes for President, the House of Representatives chooses the President; if no candidate receives an absolute majority for Vice President, the Senate chooses the Vice President.These presidential elections occur quadrennially. Registered voters cast their ballots on Election Day, which since 1845 has been the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (i.e.,the first Tuesday after November 1),[2][3][4] coinciding with the general elections of various other federal, state, and local races. The Electoral College electors then schedule to formally cast their electoral votes on the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December (i.e., the first Monday after December 12) at their respective state capitals. Congress then certify the results in early January, and the presidential term begins on Inauguration Day, which since the passage of the Twentieth Amendment has been set at January 20.The Electoral College and its procedure is established in the U.S. Constitution by Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 4; and the Twelfth Amendment(which replaced Clause 3 after it was ratified in 1804). Under Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, the manner for choosing electors is determined by each state legislature, not directly by the federal government. Many state legislatures used to select their electors directly instead of using any form of popular vote, but the political parties in the various states now conduct their own separate elections to help choose their slate of electors. The Twenty-third Amendment, ratified in 1961, then granted electoral votes to Washington, D.C. Electors can vote for anyone, butunpledged electors or faithless electors have been rare in modern times.The nomination process, consisting of the primary elections and caucuses and the nominating conventions, was not specified in the Constitution, but was developed over time by the states and thepolitical parties. These primary elections are generally held between January and June before the general election in November, while the nominating conventions are held in the summer. This too is an indirect election process, one in which voters in the various states, the District of Columbia, as well as those in U.S. territories, cast ballots for a slate of delegates to a political party's nominating convention, who then in turn elect their party's presidential nominee. Each party's presidential nominee or the convention may then choose a vice presidential running mate to join with him or her on the same ticket, and this choice is often rubber-stamped by the conventions, depending on that convention's rules. Because of changes to national campaign finance laws since the 1970s regarding the disclosure of contributions for federal campaigns, presidential candidates from the major political parties usually declare their intentions to run as early as the spring of the previous calendar year before the election (almost 18 months before Inauguration Day).[5]A 2016 general election ballot, listing the presidential and vice presidential candidates Contents[hide]∙1History∙2Procedureo 2.1Eligibility requirementso 2.2Nominating processo 2.3The popular vote on Election Dayo 2.4Electoral collegeo 2.5Election calendar∙3Trendso 3.1Previous experienceo 3.2Technology and media∙4Criticismso 4.1Proposed changes to the election process∙5Electoral college results∙6V oter turnout∙7Financial disclosures∙8Presidential coattailso8.1Comparison with other U.S. general elections∙9See also∙10Notes∙11External linksHistory[edit]Article Two of the United States Constitution originally established the method of presidential elections, including the Electoral College. This was a result of a compromise between those constitutional framers who wanted the Congress to choose the president, and those who preferred a national popular vote.[6]Each state is allocated a number of electors that is equal to the size of its delegation in both houses of Congress combined. With the ratification of the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution in 1961, the District of Columbia is also granted a number of electors, equal to the number of those held by the least populous state. However, U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College.Constitutionally, the manner for choosing electors is determined within each state by its legislature. During the first presidential election in 1789, only 6 of the 13 original states chose electors by any form of popular vote.[7] Gradually throughout the years, the states began conducting popular elections to help choose their slate of electors, resulting in the overall, nationwide indirect election system that it is today.Under the original system established by Article Two, electors could cast two votes to two different candidates for president. The candidate with the highest number of votes (provided it was a majority of the electoral votes) became the president, and the second-place candidate became the vice president. This presented a problem during the presidential election of 1800 when Aaron Burrreceived the same number of electoral votes as Thomas Jefferson and challenged Jefferson's election to the office. In the end, Jefferson was chosen as the president because of Alexander Hamilton's influence in the House of Representatives. This added to the deep rivalry between Burr and Hamilton which resulted in their famous 1804 duel.In response to the 1800 election, the 12th Amendment was passed, requiring electors to cast two distinct votes: one for President and another for Vice President. While this solved the problem at hand, it ultimately had the effect of lowering the prestige of the Vice Presidency, as the office was no longer for the leading challenger for the Presidency. The separate ballots for President and Vice President became something of a moot issue later in the 19th century when it became the norm for popular elections to determine a state's Electoral College delegation. Electors chosen this way are pledged to vote for a particular presidential and vice presidential candidate (offered by the same political party). So, while the Constitution says that the President and Vice President are chosen separately, in practice they are chosen together.The 12th Amendment also established rules when no candidate wins a majority vote in the Electoral College. In the presidential election of 1824, Andrew Jackson received a plurality, but not a majority, of electoral votes cast. The election was thrown to the House of Representatives, and John Quincy Adams was elected to the presidency. A deep rivalry resulted between Andrew Jackson and House Speaker Henry Clay, who had also been a candidate in the election.Since 1824, aside from the occasional "faithless elector," the popular vote determines the winner of a presidential election by determining the electoral vote, as each state or district's popular vote determines its electoral college vote. Although the nationwide popular vote does not directly determine the winner of a presidential election, it does strongly correlate with who is the victor. In 52 of the 56 total elections held so far (about 93 percent), the winner of the national popular vote has also carried the Electoral College vote. The winners of the nationwide popular vote and the Electoral College vote differ only in close elections. In highly competitive elections, candidates focus on turning out their vote in the contested swing states critical to winning an electoral college majority, so they do not try to maximize their popular vote by real or fraudulent vote increases in one-party areas.[8]However, candidates can fail to get the most votes in the nationwide popular vote in a Presidential election and still win that election. In the 1824 election, Jackson won the popular vote, but no one received the majority of electoral votes. According to the12th Amendment in the Constitution, the House of Representatives must choose the president out of the top 3 people in the election. Clay had come fourth, so he threw his support to Adams, who then won. Because Adams later named Clay his Secretary of State, Jackson's supporters claimed that Adams gained the presidency by making a deal with Clay. Charges of a "corrupt bargain" followed Adams through his term.Comparison of the popular vote totals since 1900.RepublicanDemocratAll other candidates togetherThen in 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016, the winner of electoral vote lost the popular vote outright. Numerous constitutional amendments have been submitted seeking to replace the Electoral College with a direct popular vote, but none has ever successfully passed both Houses of Congress. Another alternate proposal is the National Popular V ote Interstate Compact, an interstate compact whereby individual participating states agree to allocate their electors based on the winner of the national popular vote instead of just their respective statewide results.The presidential election day was established on a Tuesday in the month of November because of the factors involved (weather, harvests and worship). When voters used to travel to the polls by horse, Tuesday was an ideal day because it allowed people to worship on Sunday, ride to their county seat on Monday, and vote on Tuesday–all before market day, Wednesday. The month of November also fits nicely between harvest time and harsh winter weather, which could be especially bad to people traveling by horse and buggy.[9]Until 1937, presidents were not sworn in until March 4 because it took so long to count and report ballots, and because of the winner's logistical issues of moving to the capital. With better technology and the 20th Amendment being passed, presidential inaugurations were moved to noon on January 20–allowing presidents to start their duties sooner.[9]The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 was enacted to increase disclosure of contributions for federal campaigns. Subsequent amendments to law require that candidates to a federal office must file a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission before they can receive contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or make expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000. Thus, this began a trend of presidential candidates declaring their intentions to run as early as the Spring of the previous calendar year so they can start raising and spending the money needed for their nationwide campaign.[5]The first president, George Washington, was elected as an independent. Since the election of his successor, John Adams, in 1796, all winners of U.S. presidential elections have represented one of two major parties. Third parties have taken secondplace only twice, in 1860 and 1912. The last time a third (independent) candidate achieved significant success (although still finishing in third place) was in 1992, and the last time a third-party candidate received any electoral votes not from faithless electors was in 1968.Procedure[edit]Eligibility requirements[edit]The hand-written copy of the natural-born-citizen clause as it appeared in 1787 Article Two of the United States Constitution stipulates that for a person to serve as President, the individual must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, at least35 years old, and a resident of the United States for a period of no less than 14 years.A candidate may start running his or her campaign early before turning 35 years old or completing 14 years of residency, but must meet the age and residency requirements byInauguration Day. The Twenty-second Amendment to the Constitution also sets a term limit: a President cannot be elected to more than two terms.The U.S. Constitution also has two provisions that apply to all federal offices in general, not just the presidency. Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 states that if the U.S. Congress convicts any officer on impeachment, they may also bar that person from holding any public office in the future. And Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the election to any federal office of any person who had held any federal or state office and then engaged in insurrection, rebellion or treason; this disqualification can be waived if such an individual gains the consent of two-thirds of both houses of Congress.In addition, the Twelfth Amendment establishes that the Vice-President must meet all of the qualifications of being a President.Although not a mandatory requirement, Federal campaign finance laws including the Federal Election Campaign Act state that a candidate who intends to receive contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or make expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000, among others, must first file a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.[10] This has led presidential candidates, especially members from the two major political parties, to officially announce their intentions to run as early as the spring of the previous calendar year so they can start raising or spending the money needed for their nationwide campaign.[5] Potential candidates usually form exploratory committees even earlier to determining the feasibility of them actually running.Nominating process[edit]Main articles: United States presidential primary and United States presidential nominating conventionA 2008 Democratic caucus meeting in Iowa City, Iowa. The Iowa caucuses are traditionally the first major electoral event of presidential primaries and caucuses.Madison Square Garden in New York City, the site of the 1976, 1980, and 1992 Democratic National Conventions; and the 2004 Republican National Convention.The floor of the 2008 Republican National Convention at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.The modern nominating process of U.S. presidential elections consists of two major parts: a series of presidential primary elections and caucuses held in each state, and the presidential nominating conventions held by each political party. This process was never included in the United States Constitution, and thus evolved over time by the political parties to clear the field of candidates.The primary elections are run by state and local governments, while the caucuses are organized directly by the political parties. Some states hold only primary elections, some hold only caucuses, and others use a combination of both. These primaries and caucuses are staggered generally between January and June before the federal election, with Iowa and New Hampshire traditionally holding the first presidential state caucus and primary, respectively.Like the general election, presidential caucuses or primaries are indirect elections. The major political parties officially vote for their presidential candidate at their respective nominating conventions, usually all held in the summer before the federal election. Depending on each state's law and state's political party rules, when voters cast ballots for a candidate in a presidential caucus or primary, they may be voting to awarddelegates "bound" to vote for a candidate at the presidential nominating conventions, or they may simply be expressing an opinion that the state party is not bound to follow in selecting delegates to their respective national convention.Unlike the general election, voters in the U.S. territories can also elect delegates to the national conventions. Furthermore, each political party can determine how many delegates to allocate to each state and territory. In 2012 for example, the Democratic and Republican party conventions each used two different formulas to allocate delegates. The Democrats-based theirs on two main factors: the proportion of votes each state gave to the Democratic candidate in the previous three presidential elections, and the number of electoral votes each state had in the Electoral College.[11] In contrast, the Republicans assigned to each state 10 delegates, plus 3 delegates per congressional district.[12] Both parties then gave fixed amounts of delegates to each territory, and finally bonus delegates to states and territories that passed certain criteria.[11][12]Along with delegates chosen during primaries and caucuses, state and U.S. territory delegations to both the Democratic and Republican party conventions also include "unpledged" delegates that have a vote. For Republicans, they consist of the three top party officials from each state and territory. Democrats have a more expansive group of unpledged delegates called "superdelegates", who are party leaders and elected officials.Each party's presidential candidate also chooses a vice presidential nominee to run with him or her on the same ticket, and this choice is rubber-stamped by the convention.If no single candidate has secured a majority of delegates (including both pledged and unpledged), then a "brokered convention" results. All pledged delegates are then "released" and are able to switch their allegiance to a different candidate. Thereafter, the nomination is decided through a process of alternating political horse trading, and additional rounds of re-votes.[13][14][15][16]The conventions have historically been held inside convention centers, but since the late 20th century both the Democratic and Republican parties have favoredsports arenas and domed stadiums to accommodate the increasing attendance.The popular vote on Election Day[edit]A Texas voter about to mark a selection for president on a ballot, 2008 Election Day Under the United States Constitution, the manner of choosing electors for the Electoral College is determined by each state's legislature. Although each state designates electors by popular vote, other methods are allowed. For instance, insteadof having a popular vote, a number of states used to select presidential electors by a direct vote of the state legislature itself.However, federal law does specify that all electors must be selected on the same day, which is "the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November," i.e., a Tuesday no earlier than November 2 and no later than November 8.[17] Today, the states and the District of Columbia each conduct their own popular elections on Election Day to help determine their respective slate of electors. Thus, the presidential election is really an amalgamation of separate and simultaneous state elections instead of a single national election run by the federal government.Like any other election in the United States, the eligibility of an individual for voting is set out in the Constitution and regulated at state level. The Constitution states that suffrage cannot be denied on grounds of race or color, sex or age for citizens eighteen years or older. Beyond these basic qualifications, it is the responsibility of state legislatures to regulate voter eligibility.Generally, voters are required to vote on a ballot where they select the candidate of their choice. The presidential ballot is a vote "for the electors of a candidate" meaning that the voter is not voting for the candidate, but endorsing a slate of electors pledged to vote for a specific presidential and vice presidential candidate.Many voting ballots allow a voter t o “blanket vote” for all candidates in a particular political party or to select individual candidates on a line by line voting system. Which candidates appear on the voting ticket is determined through a legal process known as ballot access. Usually, the size of the candidate's political party and the results of the major nomination conventions determine who is pre-listed on the presidential ballot. Thus, the presidential election ticket will not list every candidate running for President, but only those who have secured a major party nomination or whose size of their political party warrants having been formally listed. Laws are in effect to have other candidates pre-listed on a ticket, provided that enough voters have endorsed the candidate, usually through a signature list.The final way to be elected for president is to have one's name written in at the time of election as a write-in candidate. This is used for candidates who did not fulfill the legal requirements to be pre-listed on the voting ticket. It is also used by voters to express a distaste for the listed candidates, by writing in an alternative candidate for president such as Mickey Mouse or comedian Stephen Colbert (whose application was voted down by the South Carolina Democratic Party). In any event, a write-in candidate has never won an election for President of the United States.Because U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College, U.S. citizens in those areas do not vote in the general election for President. Guam has held straw polls for president since the 1980 election to draw attention to this fact.[18]Electoral college[edit]Main article: Electoral College (United States)Electoral College map showing the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Republican candidate Donald Trump won the popular vote in 30 states (denoted in red) to capture 305 electoral votes (plus 1 electoral vote from Maine's second congressional district). Democraticcandidate Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 20 states and Washington, D.C. (denoted in blue) to capture 232 electoral votes.Most state laws establish a winner-take-all system, wherein the ticket that wins a plurality of votes wins all of that state's allocated electoral votes, and thus has their slate of electors chosen to vote in the Electoral College. Maine and Nebraska do not use this method, instead giving two electoral votes to the statewide winner and one electoral vote to the winner of each Congressional district.Each state's winning slate of electors then meets at their respective state's capital on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for President and Vice President. Although Electoral College members can technically vote for anyone under the U.S. Constitution, 24 states have laws to punish faithless electors,[19] those who do not cast their electoral votes for the person whom they have pledged to elect.In early January, the total Electoral College vote count is opened by the sitting Vice President, acting in his capacity as President of the Senate, and read aloud to a joint session of the incoming Congress, which was elected at the same time as the President.If no candidate receives a majority of the electoral vote (at least 270), the President is determined by the rules outlined by the 12th Amendment. Specifically, the selection of President would then be decided by a contingent election in a ballot of the House of Representatives. For the purposes of electing the President, each state has only one vote. A ballot of the Senate is held to choose the Vice President. In this ballot, each senator has one vote. The House of Representatives has chosen the victor of the presidential race only twice, in 1800 and 1824; the Senate has chosen the victor of the vice-presidential race only once, in 1836.If the President is not chosen by Inauguration Day, the Vice President-elect acts as President. If neither are chosen by then, Congress by law determines who shall act as President, pursuant to the 20th Amendment.Unless there are faithless electors, disputes, or other controversies, the events in December and January mentioned above are largely a formality since the winner canbe determined based on the state-by-state popular vote results. Between the general election and Inauguration Day, this apparent winner is referred to as the "President-elect" (unless it is a sitting President that has won re-election).Election calendar[edit]The typical periods of the presidential election process are as follows, with the dates corresponding to the 2016 general election:∙Spring 2015 – Candidates announce their intentions to run, and (if necessary) file their Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission ∙August 2015 to March 2016 – Primary and caucus debates∙February 1 to June 14, 2016 – Primaries and caucuses∙April to August, 2016 – Nominating conventions (including those of the minor third parties)∙September and October, 2016 – Presidential election debates∙November 8, 2016 – Election Day∙December 19, 2016 – Electors cast their electoral votes∙January 6, 2017 – Congress counts and certifies the electoral votes∙January 20, 2017 – Inauguration DayTrends[edit]Previous experience[edit]See also: List of Presidents of the United States by previous experience and List of Presidents of the United States by other offices heldJohn Adams was the first of a record-high 26 presidents who had been lawyersA number of trends in the political experience of presidents have been observed. Between 1956 and the last completed 2012 election, the presidential nominees of both major parties have been either incumbent presidents seeking re-election, sitting or former vice presidents, sitting or former U.S. Senators, or sitting or former state Governors.Fourteen Presidents have served as Vice President. However, only John Adams (1796), Thomas Jefferson (1800), Martin Van Buren (1836), Richard Nixon (1968) andGeorge H. W. Bush (1988) began their first term after winning an election. Among the remaining nine who began their first term as President according to thepresidential line of succession after their respective predecessor died or resigned from office, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry S. Truman, andLyndon B. Johnson were reelected. John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, and Gerald Ford served as President but became president through succession and not election. Ford became President after Nixon's resignation in 1974 through the processes of the Twenty-fifth Amendment and then lost the 1976 presidential election, making him the only President to have not to have been elected to national office. Sixteen presidents had served in the Senate, including four of the five Presidents who served between 1945 and 1974.
