Presidential Ascendancy In case of the death, resignation, or disability of the president, the vice president will become the president.

Presidential Ascendancy Speaker of the House President Pro Tempore of Senate

Presidential Ascendancy Cabinet positions in order of creation: State Treasury Defense Attorney General Interior Agriculture

Cabinet The heads or secretaries who lead various departments and help the president in running the day to day activities of the country.

Electing the President Presidential elections are held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November during leap year. All members of the House and one third of the Senate are also elected.

Electoral College The Electoral College is a group chosen by the states to elect the President.

Distribution of Members Just like representation in Congress. Each state has members in the Electoral College equal to its representation in Congress. For example, The state of Washington has 10 members in the House and 2 members in the Senate. Added together, Washington has 12 Electoral votes.

Election Day Across America, people vote (popular vote). The candidate who receives the most popular votes wins that state’s electoral vote.

Counting Electoral Votes In order to win the Presidency on election day a candidate must win a majority, 270 or more Electoral votes.

What If? If no candidate wins 270 votes, then the House of Representatives creates a ballot with the top three vote getters on it. The House has decided the election twice (1800 & 1824).
