Amendment 12
This is false. The amendment actually requires separate ballots for president and vice-president.
It required electors to vote for president and vice president separately. Before its ratification, the candidate with the most votes was elected president and the candidate that came in second was elected vice president.
The voters choose the electors who then vote for the president. The electors say in advance for whom they are going to vote if they are elected. In many states the names of the electors do not even appear on the ballot, only the names of the candidates that the electors support.
I am guessing you mean electors for the presidential election. These people usually do not have their names on the ballot but there are sworn to vote for one of the candidates who is running president and whose name is on the ballot. So when you vote for a presidential candidate, you are really voting for his slate of electors.
The electors are chosen by the voters of each state in the presidential election. When people vote for president, they actually are choosing the electors supporting the candidates named on the ballot.
When you "vote for president and vice president", you are actually voting, in most states, for the slate of electors of your state who have pledged to vote for the candidates you selected on the ballot. For example, if you are in California and you select Barack Obama and Joe Biden on the ballot, you are actually voting for the 55 potential electors who have pledged to vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The 538 electors who are appointed based on the results of the November election elect the U.S. President and Vice President on the Monday after the second Wednesday of December. That's the first Monday after December 12.
When you "vote for president and vice president", you are actually voting, in most states, for the slate of electors of your state who have pledged to vote for the candidates you selected on the ballot. For example, if you are in California and you select Barack Obama and Joe Biden on the ballot, you are actually voting for the 55 potential electors who have pledged to vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The purposse of the was ..made the 12 amendment which gave ballot to president and vice president that's all
the electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons
There was no presidential election in 1911, Since the constitution was ratified, presidents have been chosen by electors chosen by the ballot by the people.
