The path to the U.S. presidency is a difficult one. The campaign is often years long, and getting enough support to succeed is difficult and expensive. And being the most popular candidate, or getting the most amount of votes, doesn't mean the candidate will get elected! This important book explains the process of the presidential election, including the electoral college, as well as the duties and responsibilities of the president. Historical anecdotes will further explain concepts. Sidebars, fact boxes, and photographs will engage future candidates as they learn about key parts of the social studies curriculum.
