Questions to keep in mind:

1. What are the Constitutional requirements to become President?

2. What is the electoral college?

3. Why did George W. Bush beat Al Gore, even though Gore had more popular votes than Bush?

2. Must be at least 35 years old

**These requirements apply to the Vice President too**

Step 2* The candidate who wins most of a state’s

popular vote receives ALL of the state’s electoral votes Your Vote does Count!

Page 13: Hsa Review Day 4 Unit Five

Step 3* A Presidential candidate must receive a

majority (more than 50%) of all electoral votes to win the presidential election

Today, a majority is 270 votes

Total Electoral Votes = 538

270/538 = 50.18%

Step 4* With a majority of national electoral votes (at

least 270 electoral votes) the candidate becomes the next President of the United States

Page 15: Hsa Review Day 4 Unit Five

The 2000 Election

* If candidate wins the majority of the national popular vote, but loses the national electoral vote, he/she does NOT become president.

Al Gore (2000)

**Do you think Al Gore was happy he won a majority of the national Popular Vote?

Page 16: Hsa Review Day 4 Unit Five

This rarely happens, but…* If no candidate wins a majority of the electoral

votes, the US House of Representatives decides the Presidential election

Hasn’t happened in over 100 years!
