ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Filed Under CONGRESS, CONSTITUTION, Electoral College, Presidential Elector, PRESIDENTS
Constitution of the United States Article II Section 1. “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows”
Very simply, the Electors chosen by the States vote for a President and Vice President and the one with the most votes “shall be the President” and the one with the most votes for Vice President shall be Vice President.
George Washington was voted President of the United States of America on February 4, 1789. Those votes were unsealed and counted before members of Congress on April 6, 1789 and Washington was declared to be President of the United States of America.
Congress and George Washington conspired to combine the Office of President of the United States of America with the Office of President of the United States in an oral oath taking and inauguration on April 30, 1789. Using the same consolidation of power, Adolf Hitler 150 years later would plunge the world into a global war.
Take your first Lesson as one of my Students and see if you have what it takes to become a legal genius. The Office of President with the executive Power is found above in Article II Section 1. If you can find the Office of President with the legislative Powers to either approve Bills or make his Objections to them, you can start your legal education with a $50 down payment. Here is a clue: the duties of the Office of President of the United States are found in Article I Section 7of the Constitution of the United States.
Good luck.
