The 2012 Presidential Election

By Alexa and Genevieve 4S

The Presidential Election happens every 4 years. Two candidates run for President, but only one candidate can win to run the country. The candidates have to get most of the United States votes to be President. The candidates have to have a Vice President. A President can be elected for two terms.  Each term is 4 years long. 2 times and that’s it. I say that‘s not fair. The election takes a long time to find out who is going to be the next president. There are debates and those debates tell what those candidates will do if they get elected for President. For the election, the first person to get 270 or more electoral votes wins! Every state votes and in the state, the people vote for one candidate the one with the most votes in the state wins! People don’t have to vote. You have to be 18 or older to vote.
