The president is elected for a term of four years and may be re-elected only once. This restriction was introduced, after Franklin d. Roosevelt as the first president for more than three terms was chosen. This is recorded in a amendment on the u.s. Constitution (The Constitution). George Washington, who served from 1789 to 1797, was the first president. The current president is Barack Obama, who was inaugurated on January 20, 2009 as the 44th and first African-American president of the United States.He was re-elected on november 6, 2012 for his second term of Office which ends on 20 January 2017.

In Exchange for this, the president should ensure that compliance with the laws of the United States and to receive ambassadors and other representatives of other countries.
 * The president is Commander of the army and Navy of the United States and of the militia of the several States as they occur in the service of the United States.
 * He may be the leading officials and officers of the federal departments commissioning their opinions about controlling their departments put in writing and to send to him.
 * He is allowed to convicts of federal crimes grant pardon or reprieve, as long as it's not a condemnation put isolate a federal official from Office is (in case of conviction, for example, Bill Clinton himself had no pardon can grant).
 * With the consent of two thirds of the senators present may the president conclude treaties on behalf of the United States.
 * He may ambassadors, ministers and consuls, counsel for the US Supreme Court and all other officers and appoint officials of the United States. However, their appointments must be approved by the Senate. This power is further limited by law because the US Congress may decide that certain officials and officers, not by the president but by the judiciary or the heads of departments can be appointed. On the other hand, the Congress can also decide that certain appointments by the president does not have to be approved by Congress.
 * If there is a vacancy to be filled if the Senate is not in session, the president may commit a temporary appointment without approval; This appointment shall remain in force until the next recess of Congress.
 * He may, in special circumstances, the Congress convene for a special session. Or one of both houses. And in such a case, he may also, if disagreement in Congress about when they will go out, dissolve the Assembly.
 * From time to time the president must inform Congress about the State of the country (the known State of the Union). On that occasion he may proposing new legislation.

In addition, the official power of the president later expanded by the 25th amendment: in addition to officers and officials, the president may also appoint a new Vice President if there a vacancy for it. ===The actual power of the president[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Although it might not be so sounds from his constitutional powers, the president is without a doubt the most powerful man in the United States. Since the drafting of the Constitution is systematically expanded his power, either by national legislation, either by hitting certain acts of the president in use.

Also indirectly, the president has the power to bring in legislation to: he is so influential that he always a Deputy or senator may find that for him a Bill in wants to serve. In addition, the president also has legislative power in reverse order: the president may veto a vote on all bills that have come by the Congress, as long as it is not a constitutional amendment is concerned. Can the law through Congress by a two-thirds majority in both houses, but that is often difficult to reach in the highly polarized atmosphere of the Congress. Also has the president on an unofficial veto, that he must sign all legislation before it takes effect. The president can stop the proposal legislation unlimited not signing but it in a drawer and under fabrics. Here too, however, that the Congress can break such a veto to approve the proposal again. A decree is obviously less steadfast than a law. Not only can a decision of Congress or Supreme Court a decree by crosses, also can be revoked by the president always a decree or a later president. Decrees are little used by Presidents who want to achieve something in the long run and are also usually addressed to ministries for internal use and not to the general public. Yet this exist exceptions, such as the Decree ofGeorge w. Bush that allows federal funds to provide for benefits through Church organisations and not through secular paths. In addition, a large number of Governors (with or without the consent of Congress) under a declaration of war come out by other constructions; the American military deployment in Viet Nam between 1962 and 1975, for example, was officially no war but the use of "military advisors" in "support of the combat operations of the South Vietnamese army". <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In addition, practicing Presidents also always long-lasting influences from through their appointments of ambassadors and judges, who often long after the expiry of the term of Office of the president still in Office. The same applies to appointments on strategic positions as the President of the Federal Reserve System. ==Election of the president<span class="mw-editsection" len="367" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===When can someone himself as a candidate?<span class="mw-editsection" len="386" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p lang="en" len="458" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">According to the Constitution of the United States must meet the following conditions for a candidate-president of the United States:
 * Although the legislature according to the Constitution of the United States is fully involved in the Congress, the president has a huge influence. He may of course Congress proposals during his State of the Union-nominations, but in addition it is also in use hit that the president always should proposals for new legislation. A clear example of this was the creation of a whole new Ministry in 2002, the Department of Homeland Security. This was entirely at the initiative of president George w. Bush.
 * In addition to really influence the president by Decree legislative may issue administrative decisions which are not subject to the consent of the Congress. These decrees are called "presidential orders" and are similar to the Dutch orders in Council and Royal Decrees. The orders have a status equal to law, but there are some limitations. To start these decrees must not conflict with the Constitution or federal law--the power of the Congress always goes for. Also the judgments of the Supreme Court (these are official statements of the meaning of the Act) must not be violated. The power of the president to issue decrees to is not explicitly fixed in a law, but is supposed to stem from article II of the u.s. Constitution which States that the president must ensure compliance with the law. As a result of a Supreme Court ruling in the 1950s, it is actually supposed to be a Decree exists to clarify an existing law and not independent can exist. Most decrees since that time therefore call the laws on which they are based are considered. However, there is ongoing criticism that many Presidents to enact the system abuses by decrees that barely have to do with the mentioned legislation and so secretly make laws.
 * According to the United States Congress in the Constitution can only declare war with another State and the u.s. armed forces so stay home until the Congress otherwise explains. The president has, however, been authorised by law to the armed forces to work for short, military actions (up to 90 days) without the prior consent of the Congress. On this basis, is the u.s. military acted under Ronald Reagan in Grenada, underGeorge H.W. Bush against Iraq (in the Gulf war) and under Bill Clinton in Sudan and under George w. Bush in Afghanistan. The Congress gave prior approval to commitment in Iraq under George w. Bush, but also was not a declared war.
 * The president may in any part of the United States declaring a State of emergency. This allows him to free up federal funds to deploy in that area.
 * Since the 1980s making Presidents increasingly using media offensives to unofficial influence. Appearances in talk shows, televised statements and press conferences, the weekly radio broadcast, publications of theWhite House and also increasing use of the internet as a communication medium, in addition to speeches for private companies, increasing resources for the president to govern the people to reach and influence.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Literally does it say in the Constitution that candidates born after the ratification of the Constitution "natural-born"-citizens should be. Now, of course, this applies for all candidates, but it stood to make it possible for people involved in creation of the United States citizen were to become president.
 * Must be at least 35 years of age
 * Must be US citizen-naturally-naturalized citizens are not eligible
 * Must for the possible entry into Office have lived in the United States for at least 14 years
 * Should be "natural-born" are; the significance of this is unclear and it may be that this only meant that he must be a citizen, but of course there is practically assumed that it also means that he should be born in the United States and abroad.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Although the president can be put out his Office because of mental or psychological illness, is a good mental health is not a requirement. The administrative experience of a presidential candidate is generally less important than whether he knows about to come off as a powerful and reliable leader. A candidate with a criminal record can, however, almost certainly forget election and were all Presidents as good as ever married, white, Protestant males. Only James Buchanan, John f. Kennedy and Barack Obama are the exceptions respectively as Bachelor, Catholic and Afro-American.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Vice-Presidential candidate is to be the first in line of succession to the president; for this reason he must meet the same requirements. ===The formal election<span class="mw-editsection" len="361" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Constitution of the United States describes the formal procedure for the election of the president, in article II and the 12th amendment. This procedure is as follows:

Bring the electors two votes on candidates of the list, one for president and one for Vice President.
 * The 50 US States to designate electors; These together constitute the electoral collegeelectors. Each State should decide how the electors be designated. Each State designates an election campaign manager for every senator or member of Parliament who represents the State in the United States Congress.
 * The electoral college from each State meets. They will then handed over a list of candidates for President and serve as Vice President in that State (a person does not need to be in any State candidate). Get on the list they presented, must have at least one person that are not in the same State as the electors of that State.
 * The votes for president and Vice President be counted and there are lists of the two results created: all persons who vote have gotten for a post are written down on the list for that post, along with the number of votes that each person got. These lists are signed and certified, sealed and sent to the seat of Government (Washington, D.C.); the envelopes are addressed to the President of the Senate (which is almost always the incumbent Vice-President).
 * After receiving all the envelopes, the President of the Senate opens the envelopes in a United session of the Senate and the House of representatives. All votes per candidate per post are counted.
 * The result is determined:
 * If one candidate a majority of the electoral votes for President gets, he is president. It is therefore not the case that most votes count: to win a candidate get more than half the electoral votes.
 * No candidate has a majority of the electoral votes for president, the three candidates with the most votes by going to the "next round". This round is held and immediately is that the House of representatives by State agrees to the president to be chosen from the (up to) three remaining candidates. That is, all members of a State may together one vote for one candidate. They do not succeed in order for the next 4th March to choose a president, the sitting Vice President provisional president (the incumbent president has to resign).

<p lang="en" len="80" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">For the Vice President is this election, with a few changes.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Contrary to what many people think, the president of the United States so not directly elected. The Constitution does not mandate how the electors should be designated and binds them also not assigned to a specific command to to vote for a candidate depending on any other vote. It is actually so that the president of the United States (a few exceptions) is chosen by a handful of people, in number equal to the members of the US Congress. ===The practical interpretation of this system<span class="mw-editsection" len="379" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The last part of the above system is entirely and is updated after every election so conducted as described above. The way in which the electors are designated, however, per State is determined. And that makes that the presidential elections in the United States go hand in hand with much spectacle. ====The appointment of the electors<span class="mw-editsection" len="371" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">As noted earlier, it allows the States to decide for themselves how they appoint their electors. Although there are different systems from 1783 prevailed, the States since all arrived at a given system of general elections, held on Election Day .

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">However, this system is more complex than it initially sounds. Should every citizen of every State to start a vote for one of the candidates in that State is eligible as president. A separate vote for Vice President is there not always as a couple, as president and Vice President candidate. The votes per State, however, not to the candidate, but to the platform of the candidate (in practical terms, this corresponds to the political party of the candidate).

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After the vote follows the rash. The platform that gets the most votes in a State wins. There is a "winner takes all" system, the winning platform may designate all electors for the State. The votes in the State be released on other platforms, are actually thrown away.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Exceptions to this rule the States of Nebraska and Maine. In these two States, the platform that the most votes in total throughout the State, designate two electors. Next we looked at the results in each constituency for the House of representatives apart. The winning platform in each of the districts may designate a election campaign manager, so that (in theory) cross-platform in these States could designate electors. In practice, this happened once, in the elections of november 4, 2008, when Barack Obama one of the five electors in Nebraska Medal, by the second constituency to win; the other four went to John McCain. During the elections of 2 november 2004 there was a referendum in the State of Colorado with immediate effect to divide the electors on the basis of proportional representation, however, this proposal has not been met.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The winning party will choose with care choose men who vote for the candidate of the platform –-because of the fifty States there are but two that require their electors to vote for the candidate of the party whoseplatform has won. Is someone designated as election campaign manager by the Republican Party of California, then he may vote for the candidate of the Democratic Party with impunity.

National Popular Vote Interstate Compact<span class="mw-editsection" len="380" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">For quite some time going there to abolish the electoral college vote and to elect the president directly. There would also be a majority of the population for his. That, however, requires a constitutional amendment, and that is very tricky. In 2001 sparked an idea to use the existing system in such a way that the winner also has the most votes nationwide. That is not necessarily the case, and it's also happened three times in history that the loser had the most votes nationwide: in 1876, 1888 and 2000. The idea is based on two rights that a State has:

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In 2006, the idea crystallized to a system, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, abbreviated NPVIC. States may become a member by it as law. The compact law entails the following:
 * The State is free to determine how electors are designated;
 * The State may enter into a partnership with other States (compact).

<p lang="en" len="146" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Once the NPVIC-members a majority to choose men check this indeed that the new president has also a ballot box victory.
 * Staatsgewijs, the Member State shall presidential elections;
 * After the elections, the head of the Electoral Commission of the State of the rash and gives him to the other States before a specified deadline;
 * Next, the head of the Electoral Commission the nationwide rash stuck by the results of all States (including non-Member States) and the District of Columbia to count together (according to the Federal law, States are obliged to report their election results to the Federal Government in the form of Certificates of Ascertainment);
 * The electors are then assigned to the candidate who has the largest number of votes nationwide (in the extremely unlikely event that the candidates have exactly tie the dialing men assigned according to the old system).
 * Above rules are only applicable if on 20 July of a presidential election year the NPVIC-members a majority to choose men checking; until that time, the old system. States that want to connect or retreat after that date may do so only from 20 January of the next year.
 * NPVIC ceases to exist as soon as the electoral college has been abolished.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The NPVIC is submitted to all States. Per april 2012 States are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia to the NPVIC joined. They control jointly 132 out of 538 electors, so that the NPVIC not yet in operation. There are 270 electors needed to enter into force the NPVIC. ====The run-up to the elections<span class="mw-editsection" len="372" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Due to the "winner takes all" principle, it is vital for a candidate to be in all States (especially those with many residents) to create a large and good impression on as many people as possible. As a result, the run-up to the presidential elections on november 4, has become a huge media spectacle, in which different candidates each other into the political life.

The primaries<span class="mw-editsection" len="353" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">It begins with the primaries, a process in which each Party designates a candidate (or platform). The candidates of a party in a number of States party to support campaign to recruit as much as possible. Within the party divisions of the States are elections for candidates (the primaries). A number of big, important States this invariably on a Tuesday in February or March: Super Tuesday.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The primaries are a method to determine which candidate the most support within his party enjoy, what would be a good candidate as Vice President in support of the presidential candidate. By many primaries to win, may be a candidate for the general public also position themselves as "natural winner".

As the incumbent president a second term, then his candidacy for his party so self-evident that the primaries are a formality for him and can he whole the time of the primaries actually rural campaigning. ====The race<span class="mw-editsection" len="348" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After the conventions of the parties, the national campaign to the preference of the general public. This is the time when the candidates themselves and present their views to the electorate. The candidates use a wide variety of resources and venues, ranging from television and radio advertising to door-to-door actions to television debates. Since the presidential elections in 2000, between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George w. Bush, also the internet plays an increasingly important role. It is generally assumed that the election campaigns for the American Presidency most modern political campaigns are. Politicians and campaign specialists from around the world follow these campaigns to see if they can take certain classes. A notorious part of American election campaigns is negative campaigning, in which the suitability of the opponent on sometimes very personal means by is disputed. ===Follow-up of the president<span class="mw-editsection" len="367" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ====Beginning of a term<span class="mw-editsection" len="362" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Pursuant to the twentieth amendment of the Constitution a term begins at noon on 20 January in the year following the election as president. Originally this date 4 March. The president explains the oath on the Constitution and it is conducted by the Chief Judge. The ceremony takes place in the line on the steps of the Capitol. The oath is administered by a Chief Justice. Went there three times at the swearing is something wrong which would make the procedure had to be repeated.
