The Legislative Branch’s Senate, Congress, and House of Representatives can impeach the President. Impeach means to charge a public leader with misconduct in office.

This means anybody appointed by the President then has to be approved by Senate.

The voice opposing the Electoral College is heard from Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins, president of the League of Women Voters of the United States. Her essay titled “Who Should Elect the President” focuses on the importance of one person, one vote.

Delegates to the national conventions are selected at the state level, according to rules determined by each political party's state committee. While these rules can change from state-to-state and from year-to-year, there remain two methods in which the states choose their delegates to the national conventions: the caucus and the primary. In states holding them, presidential primary elections are open to all registered voters. Just like in general elections, voting is done through a secret ballot. Voters can choose from among all registered candidates and write-ins are counted.
For, every state is a Republic as guaranteed by the Constitution, and every state has its own form of House of Representatives and Senate. In Section 2 it reads “the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature”, and that in short words means that the state can set its own prerequisites along with the ones already in place by the federal government.

The Electoral College is a voting system that was established by the framers in 1787, in which it was decided that presidential candidates would be voted on by each state's electors, whom would cast their ballots in retrospect to the victor in their state. Originally established to grant smaller states power and to unite what was an America wary of one another, this system has been in place for over two centuries, yet still retains these vital cornerstones. It is for these precise reasons, and in the interests of preserving our vital democracy, that the Electoral College must remain intact and without reform, as doing so would rob smaller states of voting influence, whilst also leaving our nation susceptible, in putting incapable and mediocre candidates into office. When the foundations of the Electoral College were originally laid down, almost instantly, the main
