I’m studying Article 2 of the Constitution, which deals with the Executive branch of government. Last week in Section 1, Clause 2 I looked at how electors are selected for the Electoral College. This week is Article 2 §1.3. It’s about what the electors do. Some people would claim that it threatens the very existence of democratic representation today.

Electors – Constitution Article 2 §1.2
Welcome to Article 2 of the Constitution, which deals with the Executive branch of government. Last week I started with establishing the presidency in Section 1, Clause 1. This week, naturally, is about Article 2 §1.2. When I was a kid, this was a boring clause. I remember a middle school teacher saying, “Well, technically we don’t elect the president, the Electoral College does, but it works out the same.”

Vested in a President – Constitution Article 2 §1.1
Oh frabjous day! After 13 months of studying the Constitution, I’m moving on to Article 2 today. Article 2 is the part of the Constitution that deals with the Executive branch of government. This should be interesting. Article 2 §1.1 establishes the Presidency.
