We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Scene at the Signing of the 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:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.

voting2

The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President.

But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.

people%20voting

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

Campaign Voting 2008

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...

I was at my voting place 10 minutes before it opened at 7am. Probably 30 in front of me, and within 5 minutes 30 behind me. I was on my way to work by 7:15a.

LOL! I understand for sure. Glad your voting went smoothly. I only had to wait 10 minutes for the voting place to open, then in and out in another 10 minutes.

Have a great teaching day.

Day is done. Voted first thing and was #14 in line. Got in line at 5:30 am. 6 of the first 13 had to use “Provisional” ballots. Didn't hear the reason. No exit poll takers though.

How is your day going?

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! I needed some cheer, so I came to the Canteen!

I wish I had a picture. I was on my way home from work and stopped at Albertsons for a bit of libation. Clouds were gathering in the sky as I entered (oh, great, rain) the store.

But when I exited, the sky, Great and Wonderful Lord the sky! it had this HUGE DOUBLE rainbow - it stretched forever, though it seemed we could see both ends it was so large. The bag boy and I just stood in awe, we were stopping other patrons who were too busy to look up..we wanted to show them Gods Promise!

I knew then, no matter what happens in this election, God is with us, it is His Hand at the controls. I remember the promise of Gods Bow in the sky.

I don’t know what it meant fully, but I was comforted.

I didn’t spell check, computer slow tonight, so forgive any typos.
