OMG! You mean there is no federal government? What state is Trump the president of??
The states’ electors elect the President. He then becomes the POTUS. But each state decides on the criteria for choosing electors, who gets to vote and who does not. That’s why Idiots United have come up with the bright idea of awarding their respective electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote. I hope they do. That way the disenfranchised conservatives of California, Oregon, Minnesota and New York could carry their states.
