The American Presidency, an office reigning since 1789, is a large responsibility that only the greatest of men have been elected to. Through all the twists and turns of our democracy, the President is in the thick of it at the head of our executive branch, passing laws from Congress and the House of Representatives, holding our economy together, making foreign affairs with other countries, and many more things needing to be accomplished.
Every four years, there is a national election either electing a new President or reelecting the current one. Technically speaking, states elect presidents, not people. It's not the popular vote that counts; it's the electoral votes. If a candidate wins 285 electoral votes, they are elected or reelected as the President.
