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.
Donât bother sending in an application; the Electoral College isnât a regular college. Itâs a process that the founding fathers came up as a compromise between election of the President by Congress and election by popular vote. When you vote for President, your vote counts as part of the popular vote. But to become president, the candidate also has to win the majority of the Electoral College votes. In 2000, although Al Gore won the popular vote, George W. Bush became president because he was awarded the majority of Electoral College votes.
