The 2016 presidential election has sparked an unprecedented interest in the Electoral College. In response to Donald Trump winning the presidency despite losing the popular vote, numerous individuals have weighed in with letters-to-the-editor, op-eds, blog posts, videos, and the like, and thanks to the revolution in digital communications, these items have reached an exceptionally wide audience. In short, never before have so many people had so much to say about the Electoral College. To facilitate and expand the conversation, Picking the President: Understanding the Electoral College offers brief essays that examine the Electoral College from different disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, mathematics, political science, history, and pedagogy. Along the way, the essays address a variety of questions about the Electoral College: Why was it created? How has it changed over time? Who benefits from it? Is it just? How will future demographic patterns affect it? Should we alter or abolish the Electoral College, and if so, what should replace it? In exploring these matters, Picking the President enhances our understanding of one of America's most high-profile, momentous issues.

No Way To Pick A President written by Jules Witcover and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-04-23 with Political Science categories.
As the United States marks its first presidential election of a new century, Witcover shows us how professional mercenaries -- with little party loyalty and diminished political principles, driven by an insatiable need for money -- are poisoning public life. At the same time, politicians themselves have condoned and even encouraged these developments, responding to the demands of a media-driven age in which the press corps pursues its own quest for celebrity and financial reward. Sharp, revealing, and rich with anecdotes, No Way to Pick a President offers a wealth of presidential history, from the role of the vice president's office to campaign funds, television and the electoral college.

None of us wants the status quo when it comes to politics; that's why we have elections. Even so, there are few people in America satisfied with the candidates we are given year after year by either party for any governmental position. In Picking a President, author Marty Schoenleber, Jr. proposes a grand reimagining of the process. Examining the book of Proverbs and its wisdom, he proposes selecting candidates not by party affiliation, money raised, or experience but by character, integrity, vision, and justice. Picking a President highlights these qualities as the vital center of sound political leadership. This thirty-one-day devotional examines the counsel of Solomon to his son on how to rule well. For each chapter, verses are selected from Proverbs that speak directly to the issue of ruling well or to the character of the man or woman who desires to rule well. Each chapter also includes a prayer, questions for reflection or discussion, and a short anecdotal story about the difference one vote made in an election somewhere in America. Take a thirty-one day journey in Picking a President and allow your perspective to be challenged and perhaps changed.

"This book synthesizes a new way of understanding leader selection with research from political science, management, psychology, and other fields, to provide an objective, non-partisan way to evaluate Presidential candidates that anyone can use and that requires only information about candidates that would be widely available before the election. It's a system that American citizens can use to answer the most important question they are ever asked: Should this person be President? We begin by identifying what sort of presidential candidates are likely to become Presidents who will make a real difference. Surprisingly, not all Presidents do. Some, despite the awesome power placed in their hands, are surprisingly inconsequential. Then, we'll examine some of the best and worst of the 44 members of history's most exclusive club, which will help us understand what traits are likely to produce failed and successful presidencies, and how to detect them. Next, we'll use this lens to examine Donald Trump, the modern president who has perhaps inflamed the most intense passions on either end of the political spectrum, and Joe Biden, the President as this book goes to print. Finally, I will suggest some plausible reforms to the way we nominate candidates and changes to the powers of the Presidency that might help us improve the quality and performance of future presidents"--
