72. What am I?
I'm an American tired of many who offer nothing but efforts to divide the citizenry of this great country. My original post was in fact true. The constitutions says that "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress". All states have fashioned a way for the populace to chose a set of electors depending on who wins the popular vote. Constitutionally, the electors are the ones who elect the president. Once the Electors votes are sent to the congress then the only way the election can be altered is by one senator and on representative objecting to the result. If that happens then congress selects the president and the vice president. If congress doesn't act by March then the vice president becomes acting president until the congress moves. So once the electors vote then the result is final until the congress gets a shot at it.
