    Correction : From your video sir, it appears that US congress and Electoral college is same body. But these are different entities with Electoral college only meeting once in 4 years to elect president.
    and Electoral college has 538 electors and thus majority mark is 538/2 +1 = 270.

      Yes, a big correction is required here. Congress has nothing to do with the election of Pres and VP. People vote for Electoral college and then electoral college vote for the President. The candidate getting the majority of Electoral College vote is declared as a Winner.

    Congress consists of 535 members But Electoral College consists of 538 members. (Washington D.C. = 3 seats which were not included in Congress. Washington being a capital of USA, not given right to participate in Congress but given Right to Participate in electoral college.) So, 538/2 =269.Therefore 270.

      @theoptimisticskeptic Před rokem

      Are you kidding? He didnt even touch how voting works here in the US. He just picked up at the Electoral College which really doesn't come into play into after the votes are made and counted. Exactly how the voting itself is done is up to (more or less) each state and often each district within each state. You can have a winner take all, ranked choice, it can be a real mess at times. But we get through it and despite what some in this country may try to say, we have a VERY low incidence of fraud but its still ranked pretty middle of the road when it comes to democracies around the world.

      Heres how it really works
      Corporations,other politicians find someone who fits their agenda backs their campaign,brings em to public but ya only get 2 or 3 choices,they tell them what to say because to get most votes they go off cellphone,wifi data.they crunch that data use the info to seduce the public to get elected.then they get vote in.but because how the voting system work ya only get a few new guys in the bunch,but they are already a predetermined outcome because they used all the data to get them elected.
      Then you get up in house and senate ya have to have 2/3 vote.so with a 2/3 vote barely anything thing gets passed.then ya get a elected president who doesnt win a majority of population vote in office.so their goes that voice of america.then they get all their baffoons in office and supreme court all back by someone with a ulterior motives.so then nothing gets done in senate at all bc its a 2/3 vote and they will not go against their own party.so all that voting was pretty much useless.ya can have the best president to ever step foot on the earth,but it really means jack shit when it all boils down to it because the senate is crap and theirs nothing ya can do about it but hope a meteorrite hits it while its in session.
      The elections are a educated guess based off data.its kinda like if your car burns oil ya keep putting oil in it to drive it,thats how they treat the public.they look for their patterns and continously try to humor them and that means by all means necessary..thats how the election process works.

    There is also a nomination process. The different political parties in the US can decide their rules for nominating a candidate. Each political party nominates one person to run for President. This is usually a governor, senator or congressman. However as we saw with the nomination of Donald Trump, it can also be a businessman. Anyone at all can be nominated if they are old enough, however usually they will need to have connections or already be important in government to be nominated. There are more than two political parties in the United States. The nomination process takes place with primary votes throughout the states. In the Democrat and Republican parties, the voters vote for who they want to be nominated and that person collects delegates. In some states it is an open primary where anyone can select any person to nominate but in others only registered voters in that party can pick delegates. Also the Democrat party has super delegates who can pick whoever they want, they are not backed by voters.
    After this is complete, the nominated person from each political party runs in the presidential election. However, the voters still can vote for anyone. They can write in any name for president, the president doesn't have to come from who is nominated by the political parties, however this has never happened before where someone not nominated has one. The vote is a winner takes all election in most states. If you get 51% of the vote in that state, you get all electoral college votes. There are more parties than Republican and Democrat. Two of the most popular are Green party and Libertarian party.
