The runner up is no longer the automatic VP. The VP now runs with the presidential candidate instead of against. Also, the amount of Propaganda has increased exponentially, and the whole dynamic is completely different. Considering that by 1800 we only had had two presidents, the election process has varied throughout the years. You may want to either pick a different time period, do some actual research, or just be lazy and completely forget about it. Any of these three solutions will provide you with sufficient contentment.
Roger Sherman believed the President should be appointed by the legislature, because he saw the Presidency as an office whose sole duty was to carry out what Congress decreed. He felt that the President should not be accountable to anyone but Congress since he would be in effect Congress's agent and Congress has the supreme power of government.
"First president from the old south since before the civil war?"
The 25th amendment (1967) to the Constitution shows the Constitution's flexibility. When the Constitution was first drafted, it did not have any provisions for presidential disability or vacancy in the office of vice president.

Washington was the first President of the United States under the US constitution. Everything he did set a precedent. Moreover, he was very highly respected as a founding father of the new republic, so the precedents that he set carried a great deal of weight.

Washington and the US presidency thus became a model for presidents of other countries.
The vice-president becomes the president if the president dies. This was true in 1800 and always since the Constitution was ratified. What has changed is a process for replacing the vice-president if something happens to him.
The U.S. Constitution was written so that the people elect the president. Article II, Section 1 created the Electoral College and the initial method of electing presidents.

How many positions in the president's cabinet in 1950?
It basically hasn't changed. The process is outlined in the constitution . Campaign money and donors has become more important and since the Supreme Court found corporations are human this has changed how much money is given by special interests, corporations, and the wealthy. Two or three very wealthy men are spending millions in the current election to get the person they want elected.

The president's salary cannot be changed since most people believe he or she may influence it in one way or another. It may also be a disadvantage to the president if his or her salary were reduced in the middle of the term.
The US is not a bureaucracy since it is a republic and relies on the people's vote for electing politicans. The president is not directly voted upon by the people (regardless being a popular vote), but the people elect officials who then elect the president, so it's an indirect system.
No, he changed his mind about this and now NATO is fine with him.
THe required minimum age for US president is 35 years old and has never changed since the Constitution took effect in 1787.

They wanted him to be Vice President, but the voting rules only allowed for voting for President, with the second highest number of votes becoming Vice President. [Those rules have since changed.]
