Account Deleted By User So much disinformation . . . whereto start? Citizens do not choose the executive president of the United States. Wha? The united States select the executive president of their United States. The United States is a sort of trade organization. Its membership consists of the several sovereign STATES. Citizens select the members of the several State governments, who in turn select their president. You see, the president is not "my" or even "our" president. His job is to run the trade organization that is the United States. That's why there is an Electoral College, which represents the States. The Electoral College selects the president by weighted vote per the Constitution as amended.
