How To Become President by dehahs

While i'm stuck with a president whose job is smile to the camera, and occasionally appoint the prime minister.

Teddy Ruxpin for president.

This needs to be in a textbook or something.

I enjoy the.cake vwry much.

Awesome, it is accurate too from what I know. President is not a job I'd want...

Would you do one for the Australian election process?

wow XD i never knew...

woa! you really rock!

That's great really informative

Very nice infographic, I like your style

Obama changed everything. Before you had to be white and Christian.

Hmm, thought at first id be entertained ... sadly im not ...

This is going to help me with my AP Government exam this year. I guarantee it.

bullsh--! just have a coup! LOL

They should use this when they're teaching civics in schools!

Very clear, very illustrated.
Excellent work!

awesome illustrated graphic of how the prez is elected.

Whoa. Not some easy process. Thanks for making this. Never knew it went like that

You should submit this to . It's nice to see something political and non-biased AND well-done.

Easy!

PROTIP: All elections are rigged. To become President, all you have to do is have the most money behind you and be friends with the Private Federal Reserve. The Central Bank plans who will become President from day one. Both Democrats and Republicans are owned by the same puppet master. The prospect of choice of government in the USA is merely an illusion.

Very nicely done. Great choice for a DD!

This is amazing, perfect for anyone primary to prep school. awesome

Only problem with this is, the usurper-in-chief skipped step 1. and got a pass

Before this I only understood up to Step 2 and then of course the inauguration. You're a genius!!

I'm British, but I still find this very informative. Congrats on a well deserved feature.

Knowledge is power as they say

The kissing babies bit was a nice touch

I feel like showing this to my old Social Studies teachers so maybe they can learn how to explain it like you.

I am ready for my final now. Great job!

Lol. I fail at step one. Guess I'll just have to move on to the WORLD!!

gee i wish i had this for my test in cdivics it would have made so much more sense

Well, that doesn't seem so hard when you put it into a graphic... Nice job. Congrats on the well-deserved DD!

Nice job explaining a confusing topic.

wow! I wish they put this picture in textbooks, then more people would understand elections.

I already failed at the first step :C

Very well done. Definately what they want you to think

ncie work!

I just wish it WORKED that way.

Explanations are straight forward. The pictures look very nice.

my teacher would have loved this. ugg...this would have helped a lot for my test(not into politics)

I absolutely love this! I want this as a poster!!

Very simple and eye-catching
Seriously this should go into all US government textbooks!

So many people don't get the Electoral College. You do a pretty good job by saying it's related to the representation in Congress. What confuses folks is that what it boils down to is that effectively each state votes for who they as a state want for President, and then the state votes are tallied by the EC, weighted by their congressional power. This was a pretty big deal when the Constitution was first written because a straight popular vote would have meant that a mere three states (Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts) out of the original 13 could have completely shut out the other ten, and they wouldn't go for that.

Some states divide their electors, but what that means is that they are effectively voting 'Present" for President instead of deciding who they want as a state.

Many forget that we are a Union of States, each virtually a country unto itself. Oddly, it could be easier to talk about the countries of the European Union electing their representation, with the States being like the member nations, and the EU being like the Federal government. Except the EU is a REAL mess.

Well, if I ever think of running for American presidency, I'll have keep this in mind. However, it would just be easier to run for Prime Minister since I already live in Canada

Nice! Looks like something that I would have had in a textbook for my government class in high school.

Awesome graphics!

However, technically there is another way to become president where you can skip most of these steps (except the first constitutional qualifications). In the case that the president and vice-president both die, the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes president.

Again! Awesome work!
