The original way to elect the President of the United States was through the Electoral College.

The candidate who receives a majority of electoral votes (at least 270 out of 538) becomes the President.
If elected president of U.S.A. and died what will happen?
The previous answer was rude and uncalled for so here's what I've found: If the President-elect dies after the Electoral college votes (Dec 20th this year) then the Vice-President Elect is inaugurated as the President. If the President-elect dies after the general election and before the Electoral College votes then congress by law may select the President This comes from the twentieth Ammendment - section 3: Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

What is the job of the electoral college'?
Electoral votes in the U.S. Electoral College determine the President and Vice President of the United States. Every state and the District of Columbia are awarded a certain number of electoral votes with which to elect the President. Each state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the House of Representatives. The electors in each state are elected in the presidential election and swear in advance to vote for the presidential candidate who wins the election in their state. Electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for president and vice-president. Each state then forwards the election results to the President of the U.S. Senate, the Archivist of the United States, the state's Secretary of State, and the chief judge of the United States district court where those electors met. A joint session of Congress takes place on January 6 in the calendar year immediately following the meetings of the presidential electors. The electoral votes are officially tabulated at the joint session of Congress and the winner of the election is officially declared.

Do the US people directly elect the President?
No, the people of the US do not directly elect the president. There is a group known as the Electoral College which actually elects the President and Vice President, after being selected as proxies in the popular election. It has occurred that Presidents were elected by the electoral college vote who did not receive a majority of the popular vote nationwide. Each political party in a state chooses a slate of electors. There are as many for a given state as a state has both US senators and US representatives in Congress. In 48 states, all of a state's electoral votes go to the single party that receives the most votes (President and Vice President). In Maine and Nebraska, some may go to the other candidates based on the vote. The electors from across the country meet in December and officially cast their votes for their candidates, and these votes are delivered to Congress to be tallied on the following January 6. If a Presidential candidate receives 270 of the 538 total electoral votes, he is declared elected, along with his Vice President, and sworn into office on January 20. If no candidate has enough votes, the House will elect the President and the Senate will elect the Vice President.
Who elects the President of the United States?
Formally the president is elected by a group of electors selected from each state and D. C. by their respective parties, called the electoral college. The electors then cast their votes for president and VP in December of an election year; majority wins. Ironically, electors may vote however they choose and are not bound by the results of the general election in November.
