You must receive a majority of votes by the electoral college.
A majority of votes by the electoral college :)
The Electoral College
100%
George Washington received 100% of the electoral votes and was unanimously elected President in 1789 and 1792.
George Washington did not have a slogan. He is the only president to receive 100 percent of the electoral votes. In fact, he received 100 percent twice.
None. He is seeking delegates to the Republican National Convention in an attempt to become the Republican nominee for President--not electors to the Electoral College which he will need to actually become President.
The Electoral College is made up of 538 electors who cast votes to decide the President of the United States. When the citizens of the United States vote the electors in the electoral college receive those votes and vote for the person chosen by that states people.
270
For his first term in office, he unanimously elected President by the Electoral College and for his second term in office no one ran against him.
A majority. Since there are currently 538 votes, 270 votes are required.
John Quincy Adams was the only President who did not receive a majority of the electoral votes. There was a dispute over the credentials of some of the electors in 1876, but after the dispute was settled, Rutherford Hayes won a majority of the electoral vote.
