In United States politics and government, the term presidential nominee has two distinct meanings.
The first is the person chosen by the primary voters and caucus-goers of a political party to be the party's nominee for President of the United States.[1] The main nominees for the presidential election 2008 were Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.
The second meaning is someone nominated by the sitting U.S. President for appointment to any of numerous governmental positions, under the President's executive authority, subject to the approval of Congress.
