Just a note to the stopping distances of a vehicle....these facts and figures are for a driver who is alert and well rested, in good health and not impaired by alcohol or medication. Weather and road conditions, as well as type of vehicle and weight of load being carried can also affect these stopping distance.
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
Established 1787. It isn't really a college, and the electors aren't tenured professors. The electors are really voters, and their votes count in a very big way. The electors were created by the Constitution to do only one thing: elect the President and Vice President of the United States.fter Congress counts the votes, the candidate with a clear majorityâ270 out of 538âis elected. If no one gets a majority, the election goes to Congress to resolve. But the House has elected the President only twice, in 1801 and 1825, and the Senate has chosen the Vice President only once, in 1837.
