Photographs of Air Force One will show you it has the American flag and looks exactly the way it looked when other presidents used it.

The conventions are not as important as they used to be. However, they still attract a fairly large TV audience and get considerable publicity. A candidate who makes a good showing can improve his chance of election. His acceptance speech is especially important, as is his choice of running mate.
If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
