The President• The intent of the Framers:
– Delegates feared both anarchy and monarchy
• needed a strong, independent executive without the excessive powers of a monarch.
– Principal concern was to balance power of
legislative and executive branches
– Expected Congress to be the dominant
institution
• but indirect election by congress would give too much power to legislature
• direct election would lead to mob rule

The Electoral College

The Electoral College• Even though the national popular vote is
calculated by media organizations, the national
popular vote is not the basis for electing a
President or Vice President.
• Although ballots list the names of the presidential
candidates, voters within the 50 states actually
choose electors when they vote. These
presidential electors in turn cast electoral votes
for those two offices.
• Presidential electors are selected on a state-by-
state basis, as determined by the laws of each
state

The Electoral College
• The size of the Electoral College is equal to the total membership of both Houses of Congress (435
Representatives and 100 Senators) plus the three electors allocated to Washington, D.C., totaling 538 electors.
• Almost all states use a winner-take-all system
• A candidate must receive an absolute majority of electoral votes (currently 270) to win the Presidency.
• A faithless elector is one who casts an electoral vote for someone other than whom they have pledged to elect.
– There are laws to punish faithless electors in 24 states.
• If no candidate receives a majority in the election for President, or Vice President, that election is determined
by Congress.

Marco Rubio is a US Senator from Florida. Can he be an elector? Why or why not?
No. No Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office in the United States government shall be appointed an Elector.

Under the original wording of the constitution, how
would the president and vice president be
chosen?
The Person having the majority of Electoral
Votes is President, the person with the
second most votes is vice-president.
The Electoral College ultimately worked differently
than expected, because the Founders did not
anticipate the role of political parties and the
concept of running on a ticket . . .

What would happen in the case of a tie in the
electoral college?
If no one has a Majority, then The House of
Representatives chooses with each State
having one Vote.
A quorum for this purpose is two thirds of the
States.
A Majority of all the States is necessary to
select the president.
If there is a tie for second, the Senate chooses
the Vice President.

Presidential Succession, 1841On the death of President Harrison in 1841, some argued that the framers'
intent was that the Vice President would remain Vice President while executing the powers and duties of the presidency.
Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution provides that:
In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President … until the disability be removed, or a President elected.
Article I, section 3 of the Constitution reads:
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided. The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States.

Presidential and Parliamentary Systems
• Presidents may be outsiders; prime ministers are
always insiders, chosen by the members of the
majority party in parliament
• Presidents have no guaranteed majority in the
legislature; prime ministers always have a
majority
– Divided government: one party controls the White House and another controls one or both houses of Congress
• Prime Ministers control the legislature and
executive; the President may influence legislation
but has no real control except the power of veto

Article I, Section 7Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and
the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

The Veto Power• President does not hold line-item veto power, he
can either
• Sign the legislation; the bill then becomes law.
• Veto the legislation; the bill does not become
law, unless both Houses of Congress vote to
override the veto by a two-thirds vote.
• Take no action. In this instance, the president
neither signs nor vetoes the legislation. After 10
days, not counting Sundays:
– If Congress is still convened, the bill becomes law.
– If Congress has adjourned the bill does not become
law. This latter outcome is known as the pocket veto.

• Pyramid structure: assistants report through

President
– Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush
• Circular structure: cabinet secretaries and

White House Office
• Pyramid structure: assistants report through a
clear chain of command to Chief of Staff, who
then reports to President
– Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush
• A pyramid structure provides for an orderly flow
of information and decisions, but does so at the
risk of isolating or misinforming the president.

price of isolating information to specific groups or

Powers of the President
• Potential for power found in ambiguous clauses of the Constitution—e.g., power as commander in chief, duty to “take care that laws be faithfully executed” (executive power)
• Greatest source of power lies in politics and public opinion
![Page 61: wilson 14 Review.ppt - Crawford · – John Quincy Adams (31%) vs Andrew Jackson (41%) • 1876 – Rutherford Hayes (47%) vs Samuel Tilden (51%) • 1888 – Benjamin Harrison (47%)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050218/5f63b8acc2cfd41e5b1f616f/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

The First Presidents
• The office was legitimated by men active in independence and Founding politics
• Minimal activism of early government contributed to lessening the fear of the presidency
• Relations with Congress were reserved: few vetoes; no advice from Congress to the president

The President’s Program
• Resources in developing a program include interest groups, aides and campaign advisers, federal departments and agencies, and various specialists
• Constraints include public and congressional reactions, limited time and attention, and unexpected crises

14 | 66
The Power to Persuade
• Presidents try to transform popularity into congressional support for their programs
• Presidential coattails have had a declining effect for years
• Popularity is affected by factors beyond anyone’s control – consider Bush’s approval ratings following the September 11th attacks
![Page 67: wilson 14 Review.ppt - Crawford · – John Quincy Adams (31%) vs Andrew Jackson (41%) • 1876 – Rutherford Hayes (47%) vs Samuel Tilden (51%) • 1888 – Benjamin Harrison (47%)](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050218/5f63b8acc2cfd41e5b1f616f/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
