The Twelfth Amendment and Electoral College | James Pat Guerréro


www_270towin

Here is the twelfth amendment to the U. S. Constitution with regard to the electoral college.  Popular voters do not elect the president and the vice-president of the United States directly.  The Electors of each state vote for the president and vice-president of the United States.  At first, the popular voters elect the Electors of each state.  However, the popular vote for the president and vice-president must be held.  It is possible that the loser candidates could have the majority of popular votes, however the electors of each state must vote according to the popular vote of that state.  Each state has a certain amount of electors based on the population of each state.  The electors’ votes for each state are signed and certified and sent the the President of the U.S. Senate, who counts the electoral votes.  There has to be a majority of 270 electoral votes for the presidential candidate and for the vice-presidential candidate.  There are a total of 538 electors in the United States.  All of the electoral college procedures are lawful and specified in the 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution as follows:

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.

The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.

The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.[Note 1]

The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.[1]

Preface

A curled world of space and time, this man is strange and guarantees the matter. Where a far-flung orbiting body of great luminescent mass stays its pattern, this man rides inside, fast like a light year.  His unutterable and stuttering speech of a language known to himself and those simple beings and beasts in gravitational pull.

Early morning in the not-a-wig hair style and kiky black shirt, the camera shoots this living object.  Preparing for the 4th day time travel, he moves like the circle behind him in an endless loop.  For he is homeless for a home and he is needy for spare change plus peace and love and have a great day!

The smile is in harmony with his natural feeling – that of a guaranteed smile, living and saving for a recycling moment with the 5th dimension of people, who are tired and spent.  And smiling to the beyond the living: to the physical intellectual occupying the places in space of imaginable hearts and acts of kindness while scattering the sorcery.  Yea, this man is strange and guarantees it.

Ready for his daydream beheading he laughs with his executioner a tale of dead armadillos with yellow stripes.  But the executioner does laugh at his weak shoulders and fatty neckline. “Let us save the curly hair from a cutting,” he says, “and expose the clean fatty neck, please, for I enjoy my swift and nasty task.”

The axe falls and the head is still attached.  The blood still beats the pulse of flashing light and ringing sound.  He entered the vast space where a signpost swooped down from the sky and spoke his distant name and being.  The signpost read Thursday Man.

Epilogue

He guarantees it.

 

 

Leadership and the Presidency | James Pat Guerréro


trump-familyOn the heels of this 2016 Presidential election and the decision of the American people on the new president-elect, Donald Trump, everyone speaks a different opinion about the outcome and whether anyone can live or die with it. One asked oneself whether one should “quit life” – that  being a drastic question.  Another asked, “let us obstruct the president-elect with all the power as possible.”  And yet another asked, “prayer and hope may be given to bless the new leader.”

A truly extraordinary set of political events have occurred. An outsider with absolutely no political experience came to the forefront in a presidential political election. From any individual that takes a certain amount of panache.  This individual not only weighed the likelihood of defeating the Clinton political machine, but also stood squarely against the Republican political establishment.  Every primary Republican candidate was taken out one by one: Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, et al.  As it turned out, they were not as strong.  More likely is that they would not be as strong as Mrs. Clinton.  She might have made them appear as little leaders, and she might have won the election.  Also, as it turns out, president-elect Donald Trump purposely stood against the Republican establishment in the primary and up to the last-minute of the election day.  He strategized that the American people did not like them either.  Not even the Bush family voted for him, and they are considered firmly Republican establishment.

But as politics goes in this presidential election year, the Republicans gained ground in the Senate, House, state governor and local races throughout the country.  The agent for that change was president-elect Donald Trump.  And he had known that would occur.  He knew that most Republican candidates would not endorse him, at least not publicly, because of their perceived notion that they would not be elected because of him. It must be clear that not having most endorsements from his own political party was not absolutely needed – not in this campaign.

President-elect Donald Trump understood the media, the results of the media, the purpose of the media, and the microscopic view of reality of the media.  Therefore, he strategized the media to his own advantage and spotlighted Mrs. Clinton with high-level media coverage on her own past and present legal problems. He exposed Mrs. Clinton who showed that leadership was not the strongest of her qualities.  Also, he exposed Mrs. Clinton who did not perform well under pressure because of a lack of good judgment.  By Mrs. Clinton’s own design, president-elect Donald Trump saw through her own view of the electorate make-up.  Her view of the electorate make-up was different from what the American people really are.  A good leader would not miss that important element in service.  As it turns out, Mrs. Clinton’s constant reference to the “inclusive” word means something entirely different than truly every single American citizen and resident foreign nationals.

It is clear as all of the American people have declared that president-elect Donald Trump is the better leader for the presidency.

Prediction: Donald Trump Will Win | James Pat Guerréro


trump-victory-photoThe odd makers have been steadily predicting toward odds that Mrs. Clinton will win the 2016 U. S. Presidential Election with generally odds-making  for Mrs. Clinton as the favorite and Donald Trump the underdog.  The latest odds as of today, election day at 2:00 A.M. November 8, 2016, are -550 for Mrs. Clinton and +375 for Donald Trump.

But these odds do not take into account many other relevant factors that are pertinent to the Trump campaign: such as, religious fervor, overwhelming rally support, new Republican voters, conservative right groups, campaign energy, American focus on terrorism, strong leadership, government debt, high taxation, and weak American military.

I would have to recompile the odds. My odds are -150 for Mrs. Clinton, and +125 for Donald Trump.  Therefore, Trump now has a 44.44% probability of winning while Mrs. Clinton has a 60% probability of winning.

The reason that supports my prediction is that of the odds makers’ predictions. They will lean toward predicting better odds for Mrs. Clinton because if she lost the election, the odds makers would stand to gain more income, which is financially appealing to them. In other words, if Mrs. Clinton lost, they would stand to gain more with a Donald Trump win.

I predict that Donald Trump will win the election because of his steady increase on the underdog odds lately. It will be a surprise victory.
