This process takes 12-16 months.

The first thing a person needs to do if they plan on running for President is announcing their candidacy. 

Then they will begin to campaign for her party's nomination (nomination campaigning).

That person will then begin to participate in various caucuses and primary elections taking place in each individual state.

That is when the general voting public will be voting to help choose the party's nominee. It is this moment that the candidate will need to focus on state elections before nationwide because if they don't win their party's nomination then they will not be going anywhere.

After some time a Nomination Party will be held and it is where political parties will announce their candidate.

After a nominee is selected from each party the campaigning begins.

Whether its through appearances, commercials, or items campaigning is occurring and it continues for several months. From state to state; candidates are trying to win the support of the people of the U.S.

In November the election occurs. Voters from each state will go in and cast their votes.When a voter cast their vote they are actually voting for a group of electors. 

After the citizens vote it is time for the electors to cast their votes. Whichever candidate has the most votes claims the electoral votes for that state.

The first candidate to reach 270 electoral votes wins!

During that time electors could vote for 2 different candidates and whoever lost would become vice president. But this led to controversies in the elections of 1796 and 1800. In response to this, Congress ratified the 12th Amendment. It clarified the processes of how electors vote. But it also clarified what to do in case of an electoral tie. In that case the House of Representatives chooses the President by ballot and the Senate chooses the Vice President by ballot. This is also used in case neither candidate wins 270 electoral votes.]]> 2018-03-28 13:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/246883269 jayhow8764 https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/246892942 2018-03-28 13:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/246892942 jayhow8764 https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/246949936 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojELcKHdwvA]]> 2018-03-28 15:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/246949936 jayhow8764 https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/246953670 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gF5O6AB6d8]]> 2018-03-28 15:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/246953670 jayhow8764 https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/247489810 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xELpaiXQYPQ]]> 2018-03-30 13:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhow8764/4uel9ui5xlsn/wish/247489810
