(_b_) In case no candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes how is the President chosen? The Vice President? Explain how it would be possible to have a President from one party and a Vice President from another. (_c_) If a retiring President or Vice President, immediately after election in November, should desire to have his successor take office at once, without waiting for the regular inauguration date in March, how could this be done? 2. Explain how a candidate for the presidency may obtain a majority of the people’s votes at the polls and yet not be elected. (This has happened on more than one occasion.) Do you think it a fair arrangement? 3. What are the qualifications for the presidency: (_a_) legal requirements; (_b_) practical requirements? Compare them with those for the vice presidency under both heads. 4. Make a list of the qualities which you think a President ought to possess, placing them in order of their importance. Name the President whom you would regard as having each of these qualities in the highest degree. What qualities do you associate with the names of Madison, Jackson, Buchanan, Cleveland, Roosevelt? 5. Explain the veto and the pocket veto. Would you be in favor of abolishing either? Ought the opinion of a single man to prevail against the decisions of a majority of the senators and representatives?
