THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Can you name some famous presidents?
5
Donald Trump is the 45th and current President of the United States; he took office on January 20, 2017. Previously, he was a real estate mogul and a former reality TV star.

In 2019 Trump became only the third president in U.S. history (after Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998) to be impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Barack Obama
Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States (2009-2017) and the first African American. The son of parents from Kenya and Kansas, Obama was born and raised in Hawaii.

He oversaw the recovery of the U.S. economy (from the Great Recession of 2008-09) and the enactment of landmark health care reform (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act). In 2009 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
George W. Bush
George W. Bush, America's 43rd President (2001-2009), was transformed into a wartime President in the aftermath of the airborne terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, facing the "greatest challenge of any President since Abraham Lincoln."

Bush led the United States' response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and initiated the Iraq War in 2003. Before his presidency, Bush was a businessman and served as governor of Texas.
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton is an American politician from Arkansas who served as the 42nd President of the United States (1993-2001). He took office at the end of the Cold War, and was the first baby-boomer generation President.

He oversaw the country's longest peacetime economic expansion. Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1998 following the revelation of his affair with Monica Lewinsky but was acquitted by the Senate in 1999.
George H. W. Bush
George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States and served as vice president under Ronald Reagan. He was also the father of George W. Bush, the 43rd President.

Bush's handling of the invasion in Kuwait is largely viewed as his greatest presidential success. Despite his global successes, Bush's inability to handle economic problems at home were blamed for his re-election bid failure in 1992.
Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan, originally an American actor and politician, became the 40th President of the United States serving from 1981 to 1989. His term saw a restoration of prosperity at home, with the goal of achieving "peace through strength" abroad.

President Ronald Reagan helped redefine the purpose of government and pressured the Soviet Union to end the Cold War. He solidified the conservative agenda for decades after his presidency.
James Carter
Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981 and served as the nation's chief executive during a time of serious problems at home and abroad (Iranian Hostage Crisis,Panama Canal return to Panama, very poor relationships with Congress and the media). Carter's perceived mishandling of these issues led to defeat in his bid for reelection.

Despite a largely unsuccessful one-term presidency, Carter later rehabilitated his reputation through his humanitarian efforts after leaving the White House. He was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.
Gerald R. Ford
Gerald Ford became the 38th president of the United States (1974-1977) following Richard Nixon's resignation, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.

When Gerald R. Ford took the oath of office on August 9, 1974, he declared, "I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances...This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts."

Ford's early presidency marked a state of tumult for the nation, with downfalls including a seriously ailing economy (and an almost bankrupt New York City), an essential defeat in the Vietnam War, rocky foreign relations and an energy crisis.
Richard M. Nixon
Richard Nixon was elected the 37th President of the United States (1969-1974) after previously serving as a U.S. Representative and a U.S. Senator from California. After successfully ending American fighting in Vietnam and improving international relations with the U.S.S.R. and China, he became the only President to ever resign the office, as a result of the Watergate scandal (a June 1972 break-in to the Democratic National Committee headquarters led to an investigation that revealed multiple abuses of power by the Nixon administration.)
Lyndon B. Johnson
In the 1960 campaign, Lyndon B. Johnson was elected Vice President as John F. Kennedy's running mate. On November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was assassinated, Johnson was sworn in as the 36th United States President.

As president, Johnson initiated the "Great Society" social service programs; signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law; and bore the brunt of national opposition to his vast expansion of American involvement in the Vietnam War.
John F. Kennedy (JFK)
John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States (1961-1963), the youngest man elected to the office. On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, becoming also the youngest President to die.

As president, Kennedy faced a number of foreign crises, especially in Cuba and Berlin, but managed to secure such achievements as the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty and the Alliance for Progress. He took vigorous action in the cause of equal rights, calling for new civil rights legislation.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Bringing to the Presidency his prestige as commanding general of the victorious forces in Europe during World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower obtained a truce in Korea and worked incessantly during his two terms (1953-1961) to ease the tensions of the Cold War.
Harry S. Truman
Harry S. Truman was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's vice president for just 82 days before Roosevelt died in 1945, and Truman became the 33rd president. In his first months in office, he dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, ending World War II. His policy of communist containment started the Cold War, and he initiated U.S. involvement in the Korean War. Truman left office in 1953 and died in 1972.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd American president (1933-1945). FDR, as he was often called, led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II, and greatly expanding the powers of the federal government through a series of programs and reforms known as the New Deal.

Roosevelt's social programs reinvented the role of government in Americans' lives, while his presidency during World War II established the United States' leadership on the world stage.

As the war drew to a close, Roosevelt's health deteriorated, and on April 12, 1945, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Herbert Hoover
Herbert Hoover was the 31st president of the United States (1929-1933), whose term was notably marked by the stock market crash of 1929 and the beginnings of the Great Depression. Hoover's policies could not overcome the economic destruction and despair that resulted, and he lost his reelection bid in 1932.

Before serving as America's 31st President, Herbert Hoover had achieved worldwide gratitude as "The Great Humanitarian" who fed war-torn Europe during and after World War I.
Calvin Coolidge
Calvin Coolidge was president of the United States from 1923 to 1929. Coolidge was known for his quiet demeanor, which earned him the nickname "Silent Cal."

Elected U.S. vice president in 1920, he became president following the death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Calvin Coolidge demonstrated his determination to preserve the old moral and economic precepts of frugality amid the material prosperity which many Americans were enjoying during the 1920s era.
Warren G. Harding
Warren G. Harding was the 29th President of the United States (1921-1923). His term followed World War I and a campaign promising a "return to normalcy."

Though his term in office was fraught with scandal, including Teapot Dome, Harding embraced technology and was sensitive to the plights of minorities and women.
Woodrow Wilson
Woodrow Wilson, a leader of the Progressive Movement, was the 28th President of the United States (1913-1921).

After a policy of neutrality at the outbreak of World War I, Wilson led America into war in order to "make the world safe for democracy", negotiating the Treaty of Versailles and crafting the League of Nations, a precursor to the United Nations.

His legacy includes sweeping reforms for the middle class, voting rights for women and precepts for world peace. However, Wilson is also known for a dismal record on race relations.
William Howard Taft
William Howard Taft was the 27th President of the United States (1909-1913) . He was on track to be a career jurist, well on his way to his dream job of sitting on the Supreme Court, when President Roosevelt made him Secretary of War, and by 1907 had decided that Taft should be his successor.

Taft finally achieved his dream of being appointed chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1921, becoming the only person to have served both as a chief justice and president.
Theodore Roosevelt
With the assassination of President William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the 26th and youngest President in the Nation's history (1901-1909). He brought new excitement and power to the office, vigorously leading Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.

Known for his anti-monopoly policies and ecological conservationism, Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in ending the Russo-Japanese War.
William McKinley
William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897, until his assassination on September 14, 1901, after leading the nation to victory in the Spanish-American War and raising protective tariffs to promote American industry.

William McKinley is best known for being president when the United States acquired Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines.
Grover Cleveland
The 22nd and 24th President Grover Cleveland was the only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later (1885-1889 and 1893-1897), as well as the first to be married in the White House.

Grover Cleveland was a tough opponent of political corruption who fiercely guarded the integrity of the offices in which he served. He lost a second term as incumbent but won back the presidency four years later. He earned the nickname "guardian president" for his record-breaking use of veto power and strengthened the executive branch, ushering in the modern presidential era.

The 22nd and 24th President Grover Cleveland was the only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later (1885-1889 and 1893-1897), as well as the first to be married in the White House.

Grover Cleveland was a tough opponent of political corruption who fiercely guarded the integrity of the offices in which he served. He lost a second term as incumbent but won back the presidency four years later. He earned the nickname "guardian president" for his record-breaking use of veto power and strengthened the executive branch, ushering in the modern presidential era.
Benjamin Harrison
Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States from 1889 to 1893, was the grandson of U.S. President William Henry Harrison. Harrison was elected to the presidency in 1888, ousting Grover Cleveland.

One of the lasting legacies of Harrison's presidency was the expansion of the country to include the states of Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and the Dakotas.
Chester A. Arthur
Chester A. Arthur was the 21st president of the United States (1881-85). He served as vice president at the time President James Garfield was assassinated, and acceded to the presidency thereafter.

As president, he supported the Pendleton Civil Service Act (1883), which provided for the open appointment and promotion of federal employees based on merit rather than patronage.
James Garfield
James Garfield was elected as the United States' 20th President in 1881, after nine terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Garfield's agenda of civil service reform and civil rights was cut short when he was shot by a disgruntled office seeker in July 1881.
Rutherford B. Hayes
As the 19th President of the United States (1877-1881), Rutherford B. Hayes oversaw the end of Reconstruction, began the efforts that led to civil service reform, and attempted to reconcile the divisions left over from the Civil War.
Ulysses S. Grant
In 1865, as commanding general, Ulysses S. Grant led the Union Armies to victory in the American Civil War. As an American hero, Grant was later elected the 18th President of the United States (1869-1877).

While he had some success during his time in office, including pushing through ratification of the 15th Amendment ( granting African-American men the right to vote), his administration's scandals rocked both of his presidential terms.
Andrew Johnson
With the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson became the 17th President of the United States (1865-1869). His lenient Reconstruction policies toward the South, and his vetoing of Reconstruction acts, embittered the Radical Republicans in Congress and led to his political downfall and impeachment, though he was acquitted.
Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States (1861-1865) and is regarded as one of America's greatest heroes due to his role as savior of the Union and emancipator of slaves. His rise from humble beginnings to achieving the highest office in the land is a remarkable story.

Lincoln was assassinated at a time when his country needed him to complete the great task of reunifying the nation. His eloquent support of democracy and insistence that the Union was worth saving embody the ideals of self-government that all nations strive to achieve.
James Buchanan
James Buchanan was the 15th President of the United States (1857-1861). Serving as president during the run-up to the Civil War, Buchanan's inability to halt the southern states' drive toward secession has led most historians to consider his presidency a failure. Buchanan was the only U.S. president from Pennsylvania, and the only one to remain a lifelong bachelor.
Franklin Pierce
Franklin Pierce became 14th President of the United States at a time of apparent tranquility (1853-1857). By pursuing the recommendations of southern advisers, Pierce - a New Englander - hoped to ease the divisions that led eventually to Civil War.

As president, he signed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, prompting a bloody conflict over Kansas' slavery status.
Millard Fillmore
Millard Fillmore, a member of the Whig party, was the 13th President of the United States (1850-1853) and the last President not to be affiliated with either the Democratic or Republican parties.

He became vice president under President Zachary Taylor, assuming the presidency after Taylor's death in 1850. As the 13th U.S. president, Fillmore was responsible for forcing open Japan to trade with the Treaty of Kanagawa.
Zachary Taylor
Known as a national war hero for his battles in the Mexican War, Zachary Taylor served in the U.S. Army for nearly 40 years before he was elected as the 12th president of the United States, serving from March 1849 until his sudden death in July 1850. He led the nation during its debates on slavery and Southern secession.
James K. Polk
James Polk was the 11th and youngest (at the time) president of the United States (1845-1849). Polk's annexation of Texas led to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), and the U.S. victory thereby led to the acquisition of large territories in the Southwest and along the Pacific coast, which in turn led to the establishment of the Department of the Interior. The northern border of the United States was also established under Polk
John Tyler
John Tyler became the tenth President of the United States (1841-1845) when President William Henry Harrison died in April 1841. He was the first Vice President to succeed to the Presidency after the death of his predecessor. Opponents dubbed President John Tyler the "Accidental President" and "His Accidency."
William Henry Harrison
William Henry Harrison, an American military officer and politician, was the ninth President of the United States (1841). Elected at age 67, he was then the oldest man to take the office, and became the first U.S. president to die in office. His one-month tenure was the shortest.

His father, Benjamin, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his grandson, also Benjamin, became the 23rd president.
Martin Van Buren
Martin Van Buren was the eighth President of the United States (1837-1841). While the country was prosperous when the "Little Magician" was elected, less than three months later the financial panic of 1837 punctured the prosperity.

His shrewd dealings laid the foundations for the Democratic Party and the modern political machine,but his policies were unpopular and he failed to win a second term .
Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837. Known as the "people's president," Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States, founded the Democratic Party, supported individual liberty and instituted policies that resulted in the forced migration of Native Americans.
John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams was the eldest son of President John Adams and the sixth president of the United States from 1825 to 1829. In his pre-presidential years, Adams was one of America's greatest diplomats ; in his post-presidential years, he conducted a consistent and often dramatic fight against the expansion of slavery.

Though full of promise, his presidential years were difficult, as he failed to develop the political relationships needed-even among members of his own party-to effect significant change.
James Monroe
James Monroe was the fifth President of the United States (1817-1825) and the last President from the Founding Fathers.

He is remembered for expanding U.S territory via the acquisition of Florida from Spain, as well as for the Monroe Doctrine. This policy stated that the Americas should be free from future European colonization and that any interference with independent countries in the Americas would be considered a hostile act toward the United States.
James Madison
James Madison, America's fourth President (1809-1817), made a major contribution to the ratification of the Constitution by writing The Federalist Papers, along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. In later years, he was referred to as the "Father of the Constitution." Madison initiated the War of 1812 and served two terms in the White House.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson, a spokesman for democracy, was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and the third President of the United States (1801-1809).

Jefferson stabilized the U.S. economy and defeated pirates from North Africa during the Barbary War. He was responsible for doubling the size of the United States by successfully brokering the Louisiana Purchase. He also founded the University of Virginia.
John Adams
John Adams, a remarkable political philosopher, served as the second President of the United States (1797-1801), after serving as the first Vice President under President George Washington.

John Adams was a direct descendant of Puritan colonists from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
George Washington
George Washington was a Virginia plantation owner who served as a general and commander-in-chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolutionary War, and later became the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797.

How the president of the United States is elected

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Start with the Constitution. The basic process of selecting the President of the United States is spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, and it has been modified by the 12th, 22nd, and 23rd amendments. Many additional steps have been added over the years, by custom and by state law -- the process has changed quite a bit over time.

Who Can Run? The President and Vice-President are elected every four years. They must be at least 35 years of age, they must be native-born citizens of the United States, and they must have been residents of the U.S. for at least 14 years. (Also, a person cannot be elected to a third term as President.)

How Do the Political Parties Choose Their Candidates? That's up to the political parties. Most political parties hold conventions, which are large meetings attended by "delegates." Some delegates are selected by state "primary" elections, some are selected by state caucuses (very much like primaries, except with public voting instead of secret ballots), and some are chosen for their prominence in the party. A majority of delegate votes is needed to win the party's nomination. In most cases, the delegates let their chosen presidential candidate select a vice-presidential candidate.

Candidates for President and Vice-President Run Together. In the general election, each candidate for President runs together with a candidate for Vice-President on a "ticket." Voters select one ticket to vote for; they can't choose a presidential candidate from one ticket and a vice-presidential candidate from another ticket.

The Electoral College. The national presidential election actually consists of a separate election in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia; in these 51 elections, the voters are really voting for "electors" pledged to one of the tickets. These electors make up the "Electoral College." (In most cases, the names of the electors aren't written on the ballot; instead the ballot lets voters choose among "Electors for" each of the tickets, naming the presidential and vice-presidential candidates each slate of electors is pledged to.)

Each state has the same number of electors as it has senators and representatives (there are two senators from each state, but the number of representatives depends on the state population in the most recent census). The District of Columbia, although it isn't a state, also participates in presidential elections -- it currently has three electors.

The People in Each State Vote for Electors in the Electoral College. In most of the states, and also in the District of Columbia, the election is winner-take-all; whichever ticket receives the most votes in that state (or in D.C.) gets all the electors. (The only exceptions are Maine and Nebraska. In these states, just two of the electors are chosen in a winner-take-all fashion from the entire state. The remaining electors are determined by the winner in each congressional district, with each district voting for one elector.)

The Electoral College Votes for the President. The Electoral College then votes for President and for Vice-President, with each elector casting one vote; these votes are called electoral votes. Each elector is pledged to vote for particular candidates for President and Vice-President. In most elections, all the electors vote in accordance with the pledge they made; it is not clear what would happen in the unlikely event that a large number of electors violated their pledge and voted differently.

Normally, one of the candidates for President receives a majority (more than half) of the electoral votes; that person is elected President. That candidate's vice-presidential running mate will then also receive a majority of electoral votes (for Vice-President), and that person is elected Vice-President.

If There's No Electoral College Winner, the House of Representatives Chooses the President. In the rare event that no presidential candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes, then the President is chosen instead by the House of Representatives, from the top three presidential vote-getters in the Electoral College; each state delegation in Congress casts one vote. (The Vice-President would be chosen from the top two vice-presidential vote-getters by the Senate.)

This is bizarre! Does it really work this way? Yes. There are many arguments pro and con the Electoral College, but this system does guarantee that the person elected President has substantial support distributed throughout the U.S. The Electoral College has also been a major factor in the United States' long-term political stability.

How the President of the U.S. Is Elected

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Start with the Constitution. The basic process of selecting the President of the United States is spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, and it has been modified by the 12th, 22nd, and 23rd amendments. Many additional steps have been added over the years, by custom and by state law -- the process has changed quite a bit over time.

In my opinion, a president should be benevolent and good to his citizens. He shouldn't be a bad boy and make decisions at the expense of the people. He shouldn't think only of himself and should care about the people's opinion. He must help his fellow man and be generous. I think, that a president must have many qualities, but it is important that he shouldn't have faults such as pretending to be smart but in reality not being intelligent at all and not mastering the subjects he deals with.

On this drawing we can see the 45th president of the US: Donald Trump visualize a screen with the map of the United States colored partly in red. He seems to be happy about a situation since he has a smile on his face. We see in the back two other men talking among themselves. One of them tells the other that perhaps the president should be told that he should not rejoice at the results he sees because they are not the results of the presidential elections but actually the results of the Covid 19 pandemic. This drawing is humorous because Donald Trump does not care at all about the spread of the virus at the moment, but only about the elections. It aims to relate the seriousness of the situation with a president who only thinks about himself.

In my opinion a president should first of all a wise ,caring person . He should respect the choices of the people but be impartial, he should know what he does and why .he should help his country and its people that he best who can.
A president shouldn't think of himself but of the good of the country. These campaign promises when he is elected he should keep them as much as possible because that is why he was elected.

The thing that is being made fun in this caricature is the fact that Trump is completely blind face to the situation of the pandemic in his country and furthermore, the electoral situation and the fact that he has lost the American presidential elections.

for me, a president should be a trustworthy and caring person. Hers don't have to be a bad boy making bad decisions for his country. A good president and a president who is himself, who does not pretend to be someone else. A president is not there to sow fear ... He must be generous and help his country. I wouldn't say that a president has to be smart because everyone is smart in their own way. Finally, we criticize the president a lot for his decisions etc ... but we must understand that managing a country is not easy and that everyone has faults.

In my view, a President should be respectful and understanding. Indeed, treating people with respect on a daily basis is one of the most important thing a leader can do. I believe that he should have an effective communication and should be very clear in order to make people trust him. So, he shouldn’t be struggling with staring down complicated decisions. Not only a President should be grateful but also honest and empathetic. Besides, I strongly believe that a President shouldn’t be selfish and narcissist. On the contrary, he should be generous. I’d like to end by saying that a President has a very important role and should have many qualities to support his country and raise many issues.

The world's attention is turning increasingly to the US with just a week to go before the presidential election.

Read on for all you need to know on all the key dates, who's who, and how it works.

When is it?

The next US presidential election takes place on 3 November.

Who's running?
REPUBLICANS
The incumbent Republican president is Donald Trump. He will be running alongside his vice president Mike Pence.

Mr Trump has proved one of the most divisive presidents in recent US history, after his controversial 2016 run that saw him switch from being a reality TV star and businessman to an outspoken campaigner who appealed to a particular "base" with his nationalistic, pro-American rhetoric.

He quickly courted disquiet with a move to ban immigrants from Muslim countries, but won plaudits for a tax-cut package that many commentators say boosted the US economy.

His "America First" policies have angered many on the international stage, particularly China, which Mr Trump sees as benefiting unfairly from an unbalanced world trade system, and have caused concern on the markets, and his withdrawals from the Paris climate accord, the Iran deal and other agreements have drawn many critics.

Many doubted whether he would last the full four-year term - particularly as he faced an impeachment trial over allegations he solicited the investigation by Ukraine of his rival Joe Biden, and previously faced a special counsel probe by Robert Mueller. But he survived and came back fighting.

His running mate Mr Pence has remained relatively in the background while his boss has taken the limelight, but has taken some flak for heading up the White House Coronavirus Task Force in a country that has seen some of the worst rates of infection and death in the world.
DEMOCRATS
The party's nominee is Joe Biden. He has chosen California senator Kamala Harris as his pick for VP.

Mr Biden was Barack Obama 's vice president between 2009 and 2017, and had better approval ratings for his time as number two in the White House than Mr Pence.

He was a long-time senior US politician before he was chosen by Mr Obama - and the ex-president trusted Mr Biden with overseeing a number of negotiations over budgeting and financial issues on Capitol Hill.

He has previously run for nomination twice before, in 1988 and 2008, but said in October 2015 he would not seek the presidency in 2016.

His decision to run this time came amid one of the most sought after tickets for the nomination in years, with dozens of potential Democratic candidates seeking the position, which he eventually breezed, despite several allegations from women of inappropriate physical contact and one of sexual assault.

If elected, he would become the oldest president to take office, at the age of 78.

Ms Harris, the first woman of colour on a vice presidential ticket, was also a contender in the Democratic primaries to choose a challenger to Mr Trump.

Like Mr Biden, the senator is on the moderate wing of a party that also saw many progressives - most notably the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders - among those also vying to be chosen. She is much younger at 55.

How does it work?

Nearly 139 million people voted in the 2016 presidential election - a turnout of 55.5%.

Each state is allocated a set number of electors, who make up what is known as the US electoral college.

Rather than voting directly for a president, voters are allocated electors from the electoral college, depending on the number of votes for each candidate.

In most states, if voters choose one party over another, electors back that party's candidate.

The candidate that gets the support of at least 270 electors wins.

Who's ahead?

Even at the start of his presidency, Mr Trump was less popular than any president since the Second World War.

Although his approval rating has improved slightly since it hit its lowest point in December 2017, it is still below that of most modern presidents by the same stage of their first term, apart from George HW Bush and Jimmy Carter - both of whom lost.

With Mr Trump's approval ratings being so low, many observers say he will struggle to recover enough to win a second term.

At the same time as people are voting for a president, they will also be voting for some members of the House of Representatives and Senators . The Republicans have some way to catch up after the last national election - the US midterms - which saw the Democrats take 40 seats from them in the House of Representatives.

But their success in the House came at the expense of victory in the Senate, where they actually lost ground due to results in the third of seats that were contested.

The national polls have put Mr Biden consistently ahead since he emerged as presumptive challenger.

FiveThirtyEight, a national poll data analysis organisation which crunches all the numbers and has been correct on a number of occasions in the past, says Mr Biden is the favourite to win.

But Mr Trump has demonstrated that he loves a challenge and is a capable campaigner.

What are the big issues?

According to a poll carried out by Pew Research in early August, the economy remains firmly the most important issue for voters, as it was two years before.

But Pew found a wide divergence among voters with different voting intentions.

Trump supporters were more likely to rate the economy as important, whereas Biden supporters viewed health care and the coronavirus response as being most relevant to their selection.

Likewise, race and ethnic inequality provoked a widely divergent range of opinion, with 76% of likely Biden voters saying it was very important to their voting intentions, compared to 24% of Trump voters.

With coronavirus having had such a major impact on the US economy - despite recent stock market recoveries - and with the Black Lives Matter movement making such an impact on national politics, it is difficult to see how these priorities will play out, considering how little is known about how important all the factors are to Americans of all leanings.

Climate change remains important for Biden supporters, but is almost completely unimportant to Trump backers. The environment has been overridden by the COVID-19 pandemic this year, while gun control - which was a huge issue under Obama - is of only moderate concern to both sets of voters.

Two-term presidents

While Mr Trump was less popular after two years than Mr Obama and Bill Clinton were, the president no doubt took heart from the fact that he was not far behind where they were at the same stage.

Mr Obama saw his popularity rating dip consistently in the first three years of office, until it began to rise again before he fought his second election. He eventually won 332 electoral votes to 206.

At an earlier stage, Mr Clinton had actually been even more unpopular than Mr Trump was at the midpoint and yet still went on to win a second term easily.

Significantly, there were other presidents who had approval ratings lower than Mr Trump's.

Harry Truman saw his popularity plunge to 33% a year-and-a-half into his presidency following a wave of strikes. As the economy and international sphere became more important, his ratings improved in time to win a second term.

Due to other matters, however, he ended up one of the most unpopular presidents in US history.

When will the result be known?

Although the election takes place on 3 November, because the US covers so many time zones, it is not until the following day that the last polls close.

Traditionally, the result is often known by the time polls close on the West Coast - about 11pm EST and 4am GMT.

It can be complicated working out when the winner has crossed the finish line because of the electoral college system, which allocates different numbers of votes depending on a state's share.

But this year could be different.

There has been a lot of concern expressed in the last few months about postal voting - which is expected to be considerably more important this time around because many people will prefer to mail in their ballot paper rather than visit a polling station in the middle of the ongoing pandemic.

Mr Trump has already said he has concerns that there could be voter fraud as a result.

But critics of the president have claimed he is falsely stoking concerns, perhaps because he is preparing to challenge the result - assuming he loses - and may even refuse to leave office.

If that were to happen, a legal challenge would be inevitable - with the conservative-leaning Supreme Court likely to make the ultimate call.

Whoever is victorious, assuming any challenge can be dealt with quickly, the winner would be expected to be approved by 6 January and inaugurated 14 days later.

Firstly, In my opinion, a President should be serious and honest  but he shouldn't differentiate between men and women and be a bad guy like Donald Trump.
Then, he should be positive, humble and helpful like the President Ouattara in Ivory Coast.
Finally, I think that he should also be a role model because he is the head of a whole sate and everyone knows him but he should'nt be selfish and selfless because he makes big decisions for a whole population of a country.
Moreover, in my view President should be fair and understanding to be able to help everyone without being judgmental and without preference.

From my point of view a president should be, at first, honest because I consider that a role model for all people in the country. Secondly, the president should be humble because a president which is so sure of him it’s dangerous,he will be attempted to not listen to people, but it’s the principal rule of a democracy. Thirdly, he should be fair, I realize that the unfairness is, currently, an important problem of the world. Finally, I would say that a president shouldn't be selfish but selfless because his job it’s to think of his actions in fonction citizens and not for him.

we can see that trump is looking at a card filled with red thinking it is the election card or this is the covid card, behind we can see two men, each representing a party: red for republicans and blue for democrats ) the republican tells him that it is only the democrats to think that it is the card of the covid. it is a political cartoon that firstly denounces trump's inaction against covid and secondly the fact that he does not assume his defeat.

Firstly, for me, a président should be an example for kids and next generations and so not giving bad image of him like Trump.
A Président should be a leader and shows some integrity and have a good communication for have everyone's attention.
In addition, to my mine, he should not to favour an ethnic group or  exclude people according to their origins like Trump with Mexicains or Muslim immigrants : it influences young people a lot and therefore can create discrimination, racisme, exclusions...

The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The Founding Fathers established it in the Constitution, in part, as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.

What is the process?

The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress.

How many electors are there? How are they distributed among the States?

The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Your State has the same number of electors as it does Members in its Congressional delegation: one for each Member in the House of Representatives plus two Senators. Read more about the allocation of electoral votes.

The District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a State for purposes of the Electoral College under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution. For this reason, in the following discussion, the word "State" also refers to the District of Columbia and "Executive" to the State Governors and the Mayor of the District of Columbia.

How are my electors chosen? What are their qualifications? How do they decide who to vote for?

Each candidate running for President in your State has their own group of electors (known as a slate). The slates are generally chosen by the candidate's political party in your State, but State laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Read more about the qualifications of the electors and restrictions on who the electors may vote for.

What happens in the general election? Why should I vote?

The general election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. When you vote for a Presidential candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's preferred electors. Learn more about voting for the electors.

Most States have a "winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the Presidential candidate who wins the State's popular vote. However, Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of "proportional representation." Read more about the allocation of electors among the States.

What happens after the general election?

After the general election, your State's Executive prepares a Certificate of Ascertainment listing the names of all the individuals on the slates for each candidate. The Certificate of Ascertainment also lists the number of votes each individual received and shows which individuals were appointed as your State's electors. Your State's Certificate of Ascertainment is sent to NARA as part of the official records of the Presidential election.

The meeting of the electors takes place on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December after the general election. The electors meet in their respective States, where they cast their votes for President and Vice President on separate ballots. Your State's electors' votes are recorded on a Certificate of Vote, which is prepared at the meeting by the electors. Your State's Certificate of Vote is sent to Congress, where the votes are counted, and to NARA, as part of the official records of the Presidential election.

Each State's electoral votes are counted in a joint session of Congress on the 6th of January in the year following the meeting of the electors. Members of the House and Senate meet in the House Chamber to conduct the official count of electoral votes. The Vice President of the United States, as President of the Senate, presides over the count in a strictly ministerial manner and announces the results of the vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.

The President-elect takes the oath of office and is sworn in as President of the United States on January 20th in the year following the general election.

In this caricature, we can see Donald Trump looking at a US map with states in red. Behind him, we can see 2 men: a Republican who wears a red tie and who belongs then to the clan of Donald Trump   and a Democrat who wears a blue tie and who belongs then to the clan of Joe Biden. The Republican says  to the  Democrat : "You tell him that's the Covid map! ».
It's very funny because Trump, looking at the map, is very happy because he thinks the red
represents the Republicans and that he has won the presidential elections. It is also very funny because we can see that even his party does not believe in his election and that Trump he is ready to do anything to win (until looking at the wrong card( covid map)).
(Moreover, this cartoon also shows that for Trump  the health situation of his country doesn't matter.)

From my point of view, as far as I’m concerned I think the president is at the head of a country, so he must have many qualities since he plays the role model.  First of all, he should be a good person especially for his people, the president should consider all citizens in the same way and exclude any, he should be fair towards them, generous. Indeed he shouldn’t be selfish to be able to take the best decisions for his country.  Then, He should remain humble and honest, not a bad guy for the citizens to trust him.

Please Note: NCSL does not have the names of the individual presidential electors in each state, nor does NCSL have their contact information. You must contact either your state's election officials or political parties for information.
Overview

The Electoral College is a unique method for indirectly electing the president of the United States. It was established by Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution and modified by the and 23rd Amendments.

The Electoral College consists of a total of 538 members, one for each U.S. senator and representative, and three additional electors representing the District of Columbia. Each state has a number of electoral votes equal to the combined total of its congressional delegation, and each state legislature is free to determine the method it will use to select its own electors.

Currently, all states select electors through a popular vote (although how that vote works can differ), but that was not always the case throughout American history. In many states, the state legislature selected electors, a practice which was common until the mid-1800s.

The Electoral College in 2020

The following is a summary of how the Electoral College will work in the 2020 presidential election:

Spring and Summer 2020: Nomination of Electors. The political parties in each state nominate their electors. Parties and states have different ways of going about this, but a party's presidential electors are generally loyal or consistent party members. The parties want to be sure they can rely on their electors to cast their votes for the party's nominee for president.

Nov. 3, 2020: Election Day, when voters in each state will select their presidential electors. The names of electors are not on the ballot in most states. Rather, when a voter casts a vote for a presidential candidate, s/he is also casting a vote for the electors already selected by the party of that candidate. If a majority of voters in a state vote for the Republican candidate for president, the Republican slate of electors is elected. If a majority vote for the Democratic candidate, the Democratic slate of electors is chosen.

Dec. 8, 2020: Deadline for Resolving Election Disputes. All state recounts and court contests over presidential election results must be completed by this date. (3 U.S.C. § 5). For the majority of states the date of certification is the same as for all contests, but in eight states there is a deadline that either directly references 3 USC §5 or uses similar language, requiring that disputes surrounding the selection of presidential electors be resolved in time to meet the "safe harbor" deadline: Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. For detailed information on state post-election processes, please visit this page.

Dec. 14, 2020: Meeting of the Electors. The electors meet in each state and cast their ballots for president and vice president. Each elector votes on his or her own ballot and signs it. The ballots are immediately transmitted to various people: one copy goes to the president of the U.S. Senate (who is also the vice president of the United States); this is the copy that will be officially counted later. Other copies go to the state's secretary of state, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the presiding judge in the district where the electors meet (this serves as a backup copy that would replace the official copy sent to the president of the Senate if it is lost or destroyed).

Dec. 23, 2020: Deadline for Receipt of Ballots. The electors' ballots from all states must be received by the president of the Senate by this date. There is no penalty for missing this deadline.

Jan. 6, 2021: Counting of the Electoral Ballots. The U.S. Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes.

Jan. 20, 2021: Inauguration Day. The president-elect becomes the president of the United States.

Nomination of Electors

The U.S. Constitution does not specify procedures for the nomination of candidates for presidential elector. The two most common methods the states have adopted are nomination by state party convention and by state party committee. Generally, the parties select members known for their loyalty and service to the party, such as party leaders, state and local elected officials and party activists. In some states, the electors' names appear on the ballot along with the names of the candidates for president and vice president. However, in most states, electors' names are not printed on the ballot. When a voter casts a vote for a candidate for President of the United States, s/he is in actuality casting a vote for the presidential electors who were selected by that candidate's party.

Awarding Electoral Votes

All 50 states and the District of Columbia use one of two methods for awarding their electoral votes:

The Winner-Take-All System

In 48 states and the District of Columbia, when a candidate for president wins a state's popular vote, that party's slate of electors will be the ones to cast the vote for president of the United States in December. For example, Florida has 29 electoral votes. If President Donald Trump wins the state's popular vote on Nov. 3, the 29 electors nominated by the Republican Party in Florida will be selected. These 29 people will gather on Dec. 14 to cast their votes for president of the United States.

The District System

Maine and Nebraska are the only states that do not use a winner-take-all system. Instead, in these two states, one electoral vote is awarded to the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote in each congressional district, and the remaining two electoral votes are awarded to the candidates receiving the most votes statewide. This is known as the district system. It is possible under the district system to split the electoral vote for the state. This happened in 2008 in Nebraska: Barack Obama won the electoral vote in the congressional district including Omaha, while John McCain won in the state's other two districts and won the statewide vote as well, securing the state's two at-large votes. Thus, when the Nebraska presidential electors met in December 2008, there were four Republican electors and one Democrat. That election was the first time Nebraska's electoral vote was split.

Proposed Changes to the Electoral College

In the years since the highly controversial 2000 presidential election, bills have been introduced in every state in the country to change the process for selecting electors. During the period of 2001-2006, most Electoral College reform bills proposed switching to the district system. None of these bills passed. In the years since, attention has largely shifted to the National Popular Vote (NPV). This is an idea that would allow states to bypass the Electoral College without amending the U.S. Constitution. When a state joins the NPV Compact, it promises that it will give all of its electoral votes to the party that wins the national popular vote, rather than the party that wins the state popular vote. For instance, if the Democratic candidate won the popular vote in California, but the Republican candidate won the popular vote nationwide, California would be required to send the Republican slate of electors to the meeting of the electors. The NPV has not yet taken effect; states with a total of at least 270 electoral votes must join before it can function. Read more about the National Popular Vote.

The idea of abolishing the Electoral College and instead electing the president by direct popular vote comes about every few years. Abolishing the Electoral College requires an amendment to the US Constitution. There are two ways to do that:

Congress can propose an amendment by a two-thirds vote of both chambers. The amendment then has to be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states. All existing amendments to the Constitution were made in this manner.

The legislatures of two-thirds of the states can petition Congress to convene a Constitutional Convention. At a Constitutional Convention, any part of the Constitution could be amended; action is not restricted to the sections governing the Electoral College or any other part of the Constitution. Again, any proposed amendment would have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. This method has never been invoked.

Faithless Electors

There is no federal law or constitutional provision requiring electors to vote for the party that nominated them, and over the years a number of electors have voted against the instructions of the voters. In 2004, a Minnesota elector nominated by the Democratic Party cast a ballot for John Edwards, the vice presidential running mate of John Kerry--thought to be an accident. Electors generally are selected by the political party for their party loyalty, and many are party leaders, and thus not likely to vote other than for their party's candidate.

In 2016, there were seven faithless electors, the most since 1972-three Democratic electors from Washington state cast their votes for Republican Colin Powell, instead of Democrat Hillary Clinton; one Democratic elector from Washington state cast his vote for Faith Spotted Eagle, a woman who is a member of the Yankton Sioux Nation; one Democratic elector from Hawaii cast his vote for Bernie Sanders, instead of Hillary Clinton; one Republican elector from Texas cast his vote for John Kasich, instead of Donald Trump; and one Republican elector from Texas cast his vote for Libertarian Ron Paul. The last time an elector crossed party lines was in 1972, when an elector nominated by the Republican Party cast his ballot for the Libertarian ticket.

Some states have passed laws that require their electors to vote as pledged. These laws may either impose a fine on an elector who fails to vote according to the statewide or district popular vote, or may disqualify an elector who violates his or her pledge and provide a replacement elector. In July 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it is constitutional for states to enact this type of law. The states with laws that attempt to bind the votes of presidential electors are below:

Alabama (Ala. Code §17-14-31)

Mississippi (Miss. Code Ann. §208.46)

Alaska (Alaska Stat. §15.30.090)

Montana (Mont. Code Ann. §13-25-307)

Arizona (Ariz. Rev. Stat. §16-212)

Nebraska (Neb. Rev. Stat. §32-714)

California (Cal. Elec. Code §6906)

Nevada (Nev. Rev. Stat. §298.075)

Colorado (Colo. Rev. Stat. §1-4-304)

New Mexico (N.M. Stat. Ann. §1-15-9)

Connecticut (Conn. Gen. Stat. §9-176)

North Carolina (N.C. Gen. Stat. §163-212)

Delaware (Del. Code Ann. tit. 15, §4303(b))

Oklahoma (Okla. Stat. tit.26 §10-102)

District of Columbia (D.C. Code §1-1001.08)

Ohio (Ohio Rev. Code §3505.40)

Florida (Fla. Stat. §103.021)

Oregon (Or. Rev. Stat. §248.355)

Hawaii (Haw. Rev. Stat. §14-28)

South Carolina (S.C. Code Ann. §7-19-80)

Indiana (Ind. Code §3-10-4-1.7)

Tennessee (Tenn. Code Ann. §2-15-104)

Iowa (Iowa Code §54.8)

Maine (Me. Stat. tit.21-A, §805)

Vermont (Vt. Stat. Ann. §2732)

Maryland (Md. Code Ann. §8-505)

Virginia (Va. Code Ann. §24.2-203)

Massachusetts (Mass Gen. Laws ch.53, §8)

Washington (Wash. Rev. Code §29A.56.090)

Michigan (Mich. Comp. Laws §168.47)

Wisconsin (Wis. Stat. §7.75)

Minnesota (Minn. Stat. §208.46)

Wyoming (Wyo. Stat. Ann. §22-19-108)

Most of the laws cited above require electors to vote for the candidate of the party that nominated the elector, or require the elector to sign a pledge to do so. Some go further: Oklahoma imposes a civil penalty of $1,000; in North Carolina, the fine is $500, the faithless elector is deemed to have resigned, and a replacement is appointed. In South Carolina, an elector who violates his or her pledge is subject to criminal penalties, and in New Mexico a violation is a fourth degree felony. In Michigan, a candidate who fails to vote as required is considered to have resigned, and a replacement is appointed.

In the political cartoon I can see to the left Trump with his blond hair looking at a map. It is a map of U.S with lots of red dots. Trump say "Wow! Check out all the red states." Because he thinks that the red represents the states that voted for the democrats and therefore for him. But at the bottom righ we can see 2 peoples. A man with a red tie and a man with a blue tie. The man with a red tie is democrat and say to the other man (the republican) "You tell him that's the covid map". The political cartoon is fun because Trump confuse the vote map with the covid map. So he passes fot an idiot even with over democrats.

To begin with I think that to be a good president we must act for the good of the country and not for his own interests. Indeed he must be generous, kind and passionate about his job. Moreover, a good president must invest in the education of young people because they represent the future of the country. He must ensure that every child has the same chances of success. Finally a good president must have full of conviction. He must be able to put in place laws to combats homophobia, rasism etc..

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, In my opinion, a President should be serious and honest  but he shouldn't differentiate between men and women and be a bad guy like Donald Trump.Then, he should be positive, humble and helpful like the President Ouattara in Ivory Coast.Finally, I think that he should also be a role model because he is the head of a whole sate and everyone knows him but he should'nt selfish and selfless because he makes big decisions for a whole population of a country.Moreover, in my view President should be fair and understanding to be able to help everyone without being judgmental and without preference.

My opinion about the qualities of President, Louis

# data[].attributes.body
According to me, a president, as for the USA as for the rest of th world, should be an exemple of vertue and fairness. He should be humble and listen what people demand.
For me, even if I'm not American, the next US president should try to bridge the monstruous divide that bite the country from many years between democrates and republicans ans furthemore between racists and progressives, between ecologists and people who think that Climate change is a hoax...
Also, the new President shouldn't but corrupted and selfish

And last but not least, the new US president has to react against the global warming and protect the Earth as much as he can.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion  a president should be honest with all citizens of the country. He must  be listen to the people and their needs. He should be humble because he is the representative of the country throughout the world and he is  also a model for young people as well as for older people. It should  be fair and honour its commitments until the end of its term. He shouldn't be a bad guy and divide the citizens but rather unite them to raise the country.

# data[].attributes.body
First, I strongly believe a president should be honest and trustful, because an entire country needs him and people expect him to be serious and truthworthly. Secondly, he shouldn't be disrepectful to others, it's really important to me that he respects everyone no matter their religion or their social and cultural background. Especially as he is the leader of a country and he should be an example and a role model. So in my point of view, he should be helpful and careless too, he shouldn't left anybody out.

I want your Opinion ! Now it's your turn ! What qualities do you think  a President should have ?                    (80 words)  Attention : Votre réponse devra contenir  SHOULD / SHOULDN'T / des ADJECTIFS travaillés dans la leçon / au moins une expression d'opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view, first of all, a President should be honest and humble with these citizens. Indeed, it is a model for us and for young people, it must be listening, and help people in need. Moreover, for me, he should be competent, able to solve any problem, find solutions for the best of his country. It should also be tolerant towards his country, have common sense and must also reassure us. However, a president souldn't be selfish or racist, but should show solidarity among all citizens.

From my point of view, a President of the United States should be, most of all, altruist. I don't want him to be a selfish  man, because he will have a lot of political power, and he shouldn't be able to use it  for himself. I believe that he MUST be smart as no one, and joyful. If he is, I'm sure he will make all the very good decisions for his nation. I am feeling that it wouldn't be too much  serious if he isn't fair, because if that permits us to survive, I'm not against.

# data[].attributes.body
As far as i’m concerned, the next president should be gentle with people, and as a parent for his childrens, he should be a role-model for the population of United-Sates. Furthermore, he must be pragmatic and very smart. The next president should be at the opposite of Kings and dictators, I mean that he should be fair and honest. He will have a lot of responsibilities so he must be serious, loyal and unbiased, moreover he should be listenning to the population in order to comfort people.

Cette vidéo est une présentation des élections américaines. Les 3 bases pour aspirer à être élu président sont : être un citoyen de droit du sang, avoir 35 ans au minimum et habiter sur le territoire américain depuis au moins 14 ans. Les 2 parties politiques les plus importants sont les démocrates et les républicains. De nombreuses personnes souhaitent faire campagne à travers le pays. La première étape pour se faire élir sont les primaires et les caucus. Dans les caucus, les personnes d’un même parti discutent et décident de qui sera le meilleur candidat pour leur parti. Dans les primaires les personnes votent pour qui les représentera durant le élections. Après les caucus et les primaires, les candidats décident de leur vice président respectifs, c’est à dire leur adjoint. Les candidats vont alors faire campagne tout autour du pays pour obtenir le soutien de la population. Les américains vont alors voter mais ne vont pas voter pour une personne en particulier, mais pour un groupe de personnes appelée les électeurs. Dans chaque états il y a 2 sénateurs et les membres de la maison des représentants qui font un total d’électeurs, qui varie d’un état a un autre. Au total, il y a 538 électeurs a collège électoral. Le premier candidat a atteindre 270 électeurs remportent l’élection.

On the one hand, for me , a president should be honest and truthful towards his people. S.He should be loving and a role model. The president is the face of a country and must be serious and fair. Of course, the future president should be smart but also joyful and always positive even during a crisis.

On the other hand, a president shouldn’t be sexist, racist or discriminate others because of their religion or sexuality. Everyone must be free to be themselves. The next president shouldn’t place his/her personal interest first and shouldn’t be selfish or insensitive.

L'enregistrement étudié est une vidéo explicative sur le fonctionnement des élections présidentielles américaines tirée du site Kids.gov. On entend une seule voix féminine, celle de la narratrice. Celle-ci nous explique d'abord que pour se présenter aux élections américaines il faut avant tout être un citoyen américain naturel d'au moins 35 ans et résident depuis au moins 14 ans aux États-Unis. Elle nous explique ensuite qu'il existe deux partis majeurs aux USA, le parti Républicain et le parti Démocrate. Ensuite, elle nous détaille le fonctionnement des élections.

Tout d'abord, les candidats débutent leur campagne par les primaires où les différents partis élisent leur candidat qui recevra leur soutient. Ensuite, après de nombreux congrès, débats et autres éléments formant la campagne électorale, c'est le jour de l'élection Générale, chacun vote pour des grands électeurs qui formeront la chambre des représentants et le sénat, ces deux institutions élisant réellement le futur président. Les sénateurs sont au nombre de 100, deux par états, et les grands électeurs sont 438, répartis dans les différents états américains. Chaque grand électeur à une voix, ainsi, il faut obtenir une majorité de 270 voix du Collège Electoral pour être élu président des USA.

Après cette élection, le nouveau président ainsi que son vice président prêtent serment le 20 janvier de l'année d'après.

Le ton général est plutôt enjoué, informatif.

# data[].attributes.body
For my point of view, a President should be a role model because he should have a lot of quality. Firstly, a good President should be smart for make decisions. Secondly, he shouldn't be sexist because he should be fair with girls and boys. Thirdly, in my opinion, a President should be honest and truthful to tell the truth to his citizens, he shouldn't be a liar. Lastly, we must not forget that a President should be loving and joyful to make people love him.

La vidéo que nous avons à traiter à pour titre «How to become President of United States?» qui veut dire en français «Comment devenir Président des Etats-Unis?». Cette vidéo est une vidéo d'information faite par le site « kids.gov » qui nous informe sur le processsus électoral aux US. Le thème principale de ce document est alors les élections présidentiel aux Etats-Unis. Il s'adresse à tous les Américains et notamment les gens qui rêvent de devenir Président des Etats-Unis. Dans celui-ci, c'est une femme qui parle avec un ton informatif,calme,sérieux,neutre et réfléchi.Tout d'abord dans cette vidéo, on nous dit que beaucoup de gens rêvent de devenir Président. Mais pour se présenter officiellement aux élections, une personne doit répondre à trois exigences de base établies par les États-Unis. Un candidat aux Etats-Unis doit être: Un citoyen né naturellement aux US, être âgé d'au moins 35 ans, et être un résident américain depuis au moins 14 ans.Ensuite on nous dit, que les personnes qui ont des mêmes idées appartiennent généralement au même parti politique. Les deux principaux partis aux États-Unis sont républicain et démocrate. Beaucoup de gens veulent être président. Ils font alors campagne à travers le pays et se font concurrence pour tenter de gagner la nomination de leur partie. Dans le comité électoral, les membres du parti se rencontrent, discutent et votent pour savoir qui, selon eux, serait le meilleur candidat du parti. Lors des primaires, les membres du parti votent lors d'une élection d'État pour le candidat qu'ils souhaitent les représenter aux élections générales. ( Cest l'étape 1).Puis, après les ( élections) primaires et les comités électoral, chaque grand parti, démocrate et républicain, tient une convention nationale pour désigner un candidat à la présidence. Le candidat présidentiel du parti dit son choix pour le poste de vice-président. Les candidats à la présidentielle font campagne dans tout les Etats-Unis pour essayer de gagner le soutien de la population en général. Le jour des élections, les citoyens de chaque État ont voté.(C'est l'étape 2).Enfin, on nous dit que quand des gens votent, ils votent en fait pour un groupe de personnes appelées électeurs. Le nombre d'électeurs que chaque État obtient est égal à son nombre total de sénateurs et de représentants au Congrès. Nous avons donc aux Etats-Unis un total de 538 électeursqui forment le collège électoral. Suite à l'élection générale chaque électeurs émet une voix . Le candidat qui obtient 270 voix ou plus à alors gagné. Le président et le viceprésident nouvellement élus sont inaugurés le 20 janvier.(c'est l'étape 3)

Dans cette vidéo, seule la journaliste(voix-off) intervient. C’est un document qui s’adresse à toute personne souhaitant savoir comment se déroule les présidentielles en Amérique. En effet, comme le dit la voix-off, beaucoup de gens rêvent de devenir président mais il y a 3 conditions établit par la Constitution à respecter pour se présenter aux élections. Le citoyen doit être citoyen de naissance, il doit avoir au moins 35 ans et il doit être un résident  états-unien depuis au moins 14ans. Les présidentielles se déroulent en plusieurs étapes. Tout d’abord, des personnes avec les mêmes idées sont regroupées dans le même parti politique, il y a le parti républicain et le parti démocrate. Lors du comité électoral, les membres se rencontrent et lors des Primaires, ils votent pour le candidat par qui ils souhaitent être représentés. Ensuite, chaque partie sélectionne un candidat pour les présidentielles. Le candidat annonce alors son choix de vice-président. Ainsi, le jour de l’élection, les gens votent pour les électeurs du Collège Électoral (538 électeurs). Ce nombre d’électeurs est égal au nombre de sénateurs et de représentants au Congrès pour chaque état. Le candidat ayant au moins 270 votes gagne les élections et il est inauguré Président le 20 janvier avec son vice-président. Cette vidéo permet d’informer au sujet du processus électoral américain. Le ton est sérieux.

In my opinion, the President should be honest. When he will be elected, He shouldn't change his speech. The President should be a role model to inspire the news generations. He should be charismatic to reunite the contry behim him. In my view the president shouldn't be sexist and racist because the fighting against racsims and gender discrimination are at the heart of actual society. He should promot the progress to lead the contry toward a better version of himself. To my mind the President should be humble.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe a President has to be someone who is very intelligent, and he also needs to understand about the issues of the country, for example the social problems, the politic problems, and the economic problems. The President should be humble, so he can respect everyone's choices and not make decisions just to satisfy himself. The President should fight against discriminations like sexism or racism, and he should make sure everyone is treated equally. I think the President should listen to the population to satisfy them, because in my opinion the President is here to make sure the economy is going great, but also he needs to make everyone feel safe and not left apart.

Le document qui nous est présenté est un documentaire, réalisé par le gouvernement sur le fonctionnement des élections présidentielles américaine.

Le narrateur nous apprends que beaucoup de personnes rêvent de devenir président des États-Unis. Mais pour participer, il faut remplir 3 critères, établis par la constitution américaine: le candidat à la présidence doit avoir au moins 35 ans, doit être né citoyen américain, doit être résident américain durant, au moins, les 14 dernières années.

Les personnes partageant les mêmes idées appartiennent souvent au même parti politique. Les deux partis les plus importants aux États-Unis sont : les Républicains et les Démocrates. Beaucoup de personnes veulent devenir président, ils organisent des campagnes (politiques) dans leurs pays, et rivalisent afin d’obtenir la nomination de leur parti. Dans les réunions, les membres du parti discutent et votent pour celui, qu’ils jugent, le meilleur candidat pour le parti. Avec les primaires, les membres du parti votent durant les élections de l’état pour le candidat qu’ils veulent, qui les représentera dans les élections générales. Après les primaires et les réunions, chacun des deux partis majeurs, tiennent une convention nationale (USA) pour sélectionner le candidats qu’ils vont nominer. De plus ils annoncent qui sera le vice-président du candidat. Le président, participant à l’élection, organise une campagne dans tout le pays pour obtenir le soutien générale de la population. Durant le jour de l’élection, tous les votants votent, cependant ils votent pour des « électeurs ». Le nombre d’électeurs est égal à deux plus le nombre de membres au Congrès représentant le-dit état. Un total de 538 électeurs forme le collège électoral. Chaque électeur possède une voix. Le candidat obtenant, en premier, les 270 voix ou plus, gagne. Les nouveaux dirigeants, président et vice-président, sont inauguré le 20 juin.

Le locuteur est un femme et parle d’un ton calme, informatif.

Le document qui nous est présenté est un dessin animé, dans lequel une narratrice  nous explique que beaucoup de gens veulent devenir Président des Etats-Unis. C est donc une vidéo à caractère informatif. Cependant, toute personne voulant se présenter doit remplir les trois critères suivant: -être né sur le sol américain;
-avoir 35 ans;

-être un citoyen américain depuis 14 ans .
Tout citoyen ayant des idées politiques se rattache en général à l'un des deux principaux partis politiques en vigueur aux Etat-Unis: Le parti Démocrate et le parti Républicain. Ces citoyens militent dans tout le pays pour tenter de se faire élir représentant de leur parti. On apprend qu'à l'occasion de "Caucuses", des élections primaires, les différents candidats d'un même parti discutent et débattent pour s'accorder en vue des "Primaries", où ils votent pour un seul candidat qui les représentera et représentera le parti durant l'élection générale (du Président).
Après cette élection, chaque représentant fait organiser une convention nationale afin de montrer au peuple qui a été choisi pour les représenter.  C est durant cette convention que le candidat peut choisir, seul,  son candidat pour la vice présidence, son "running mate".  Ensuite,  ils partent dans tous le pays pour essayer de convaincre les gens en général de voter pour eux.
Durant le jour d'élection, les gens votent. Seulement, ils ne votent pas directement pour le candidat, mais pour un grand électeur, qui fait parti du collège electoral.  Le collège electoral possède un nombre défini de grands électeurs:  538. Le candidat gagnant est donc logiquement celui qui remportera en premier 270 voix ou plus. Il existe un nombre défini de grands électeurs par Etat: le nombre de représentants au Congrès plus deux sénateurs. Chaque grand électeur vote une seule fois, et est tenu de voter en respectant l'opinion populaire .
Dernièrement, on apprend que le candidat élu est inauguré le 21 Janvier.

Fristly, from my point of view, particulary for the United States, a country very important to the world, the president should be responsible. On the one hand, for the americans, president should be good, helpfull and a role model ; and shouldn't be racist and sexist.

On the other hand, I strongly believe that president should be smart in the diplomatic ties, because the United States take very important decisons , also for environnement !

In spite of all, I think that the United States rule the world , so their president should be very reponsible, clever and serious.

From my point of view, a president should be honest towards the people. He should be truthful, always telling the truth. He have to be serious and fair because he lead the country. And he should be loving, really smart, joyful and stay positive to reassure his population even in crises moments. He also should be humble.
A president souldn’t be racist or descriminate people because of their religion, skin color or their sexuality. He shouldn’t be selfish. He shouldn’t think to himself first.

Tout d'abord, vous avez besoin de trois conditions pour en devenir une. Premièrement, le candidat doit être citoyen à la naissance. Deuxièmement, il doit avoir au moins 35 ans, et troisièmement, il doit avoir vécu aux États-Unis pendant au moins 14 ans. Il existe deux principaux partis: le Parti démocrate et le Parti républicain. Quand les gens ont les mêmes idées, ils appartiennent au même parti politique. Premièrement, le comité des élections et les membres des élections primaires débattent et votent pour sélectionner les meilleurs candidats et qui les représentera aux élections générales. Ensuite, prévoyez de convoquer une convention nationale et de choisir le candidat final. Ensuite, le candidat élit un vice-président. Puis ils se sont battus dans le pays pour le soutien populaire.
