Who elects the president and vice president why?
When the people vote, they are really voting for delegates to the Electoral College. Each states' number of delegates is equal to the number of representatives it has in the US House of Representatives plus the two Senators it has in the US Senate. For example, in 2008 PA had 19 Reps. and two Senators, so it had 21 Electoral Votes. The Electoral College votes in December following a presidential election and chooses the president and VP. To become president or VP a candidate must receive a majority (51% or more - 270+/538) of Electoral votes.
