Some presidents feel so strongly about some issue that the court is likely to consider, that they nominate someone who agrees with them even if that person is not the best qualified. Nominees must be confirmed by the Senate , and if the Senate is controlled by the opposition party, the President may choose a weaker candidate who is not known to be hostile to his views but may be confirmable.

Why has there not been a successful third party candidate for president?

The US developed a two-party system in 1828. Since then, there have been two strong, established parties, each of which nominates a national candidate and fund his campaign. It is very difficult, seemingly impossible to create a new party that has the national scope and the resources of the two established parties. If a new idea or leader emerges, what happens is that one of the established parties adds the new idea to its platform or nominates the popular leader.


What happens if vice president candidate drops out of race?

If a vice presidential candidate drops out of the race, it would depend on the timing and the reasons for their withdrawal. If it happens before the party's nomination, the party may choose a replacement candidate. If it happens after the nomination, the party may still proceed with the original candidate or choose a new one through a replacement process determined by party rules. Ultimately, the party would have the authority to make this decision.

Are people who vote for a pro choice candidate guilty of a sin?

A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil, and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion, if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidate's permissive stand on abortion and/or euthanasia. When a Catholic does not share a candidate's stand in favour of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.
