I see - we just hand things off to our Party leaders (nonelected) and let them tell us who we are electing. Sure. ‘Ol Adolph loved that system.

Let’s see if we can ramp up your education just a little. We elect presidents to serve as our executive for a four-year period. We elect Senators for six- year periods and Representatives for two- year periods to represent us in Congress to make laws where necessary and to develop and oversee the budget.

None of them, however, do our electing for us, capeche?

The election of the President and Vice President of the United States is an indirect vote in which citizens cast ballots for a set of members of the U.S. Electoral College. These electors then cast direct votes for the President and Vice President. If both votes result in an absolute majority, the election is over. If a majority of electors do not vote for President, the House of Representatives chooses the President; if a majority of electors do not vote for Vice President, the Senate votes.
