Amendment #12
The 12th Amendment changed the way the president is elected.
This phenomenon is not due to any amendment. Amendment 12 changed the procedure for electing the President, but did not actually change the indirect way the President is elected. Popular vote is not mentioned in the Constitution and does not elect directly elect the President and such is the plan in the body of the Constitution.
changed the way votes were cast for the President and vice president
elects the President and Vice President
The 12th Amendment clarifies the election process for the offices of president and vice-president.
Because the President is elected based on Electoral votes. The US Constitution spells out the process for electing the President. Congress has never changed the way we do it.
The amendment that changed the procedure for election of the President, but more especially the Vice President, was the 12th Amendment, ratified in 1804. Previously, the House of Representatives was involved in the electoral process, and the Vice President was the candidate receiving the second-highest number of electoral votes. The procedures in this amendment are essentially the same as are currently used.
The 17th amendment changed the way senators were selected. Before the 17th amendment senators were selected by state legislatures, that allowed party bosses too much influence. The 17th amendment allowed voters of each state to directly elect their senators. This amendment gave women the right to vote.
why do some people feel that the electoral collage is not a fair way to elect the president
The 20th amendment changed the president's inauguration from March 4th to January 20th. This way, after the election in November, the U.S wasn't waiting as long for the new president to take office.
Another Amendment. Amendments may be changed only by a later amendment. If a particular amendment needs to be changed, it is not changed the way a law would be amended by deleting or adding wording. Amendments are changed by adoption of a later amendment that states that the prior amendment is changed in a certain way.
