Well it’s for a federal office that has significant impact on all the states and citizens of those states, so I don’t see the point in arguing semantics. Can you go further in your reply?
“ Can you go further in your reply?”
50 State Legislatures exercise their sovereign power to appoint Electors, who then choose the President and Vice President. This is a reserved, plenary power. It is the outcome of a deliberative process by very wise men who decided to EXCLUDE the three branches of the Federal government from the process.
The process by which these sovereign Legislatures appoint their officials IS NOT A FEDERAL MATTER.
