The election of the President is not direct, but every one who is legally qualified can vote, regardless of race or sex. The people choose electors who then elect the President. State elections are an example of direct democracy. But that said, it should be noted many citizens today are concerned that money has too much of a role in how people get elected: there is a perception that wealthy donors often determine who has the ability to run for office, since campaigning is very expensive. Thus, some candidates are not necessarily the best, but they are the ones who have raised the money to get their name out there.
