Growth of Presidential Power
Presidential power has increased over time, mostly because of the men who have held the office
Do you think the President has too much power? Why or why not?
![Page 24: Unit 5](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/5681619e550346895dd15387/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 25: Unit 5](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/5681619e550346895dd15387/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How do we nominate presidential candidates?
Framers did not set a means for nominating presidential candidates, only for electing the President and VP
Nomination procedures have changed over time 1800’s—Congressional caucuses were used Later, national conventions used to nominate
Presidential primaries Choosing delegates for the conventions Show voter preference Some states use caucuses instead of primaries These are held early in the year
Most weak candidates are eliminated Most nominees are known before the convention
National Nomination Convention Speeches Adoption of a party platform State roll call of votes for the candidates Candidate who wins the nomination then campaigns for several
months before the general election is held
![Page 26: Unit 5](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/5681619e550346895dd15387/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Electoral College Actually chooses the president and VP Each state has electoral votes = to number in
Congress Popular vote in each state determines who the
electors will vote for 3 criticisms of electoral college
Candidate can win election and lose popular vote A state’s electoral votes do not have to reflect its
popular vote A strong bid by a third-party or independent candidate
could mean that neither major-party candidate receives the majority of the electoral votes, throwing the election into the House of Representatives
