Emmanuel Ramsey · Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The Electoral College chooses the president and vice president.

Explanation:

The body consists of 538 people and it needs 270 electoral votes to elect the President. The state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its legislature delegation: one for every member within the House of Representatives and an additional 2 representatives for the Senators.

Robert Tucker · Answer 2

The Electoral College is elected in the elections (in each state separately) for the specific purpose of electing the president and the vice-president, so the correct answer is:

The Electoral College chooses the president and vice president.

The cabinet members are nominated by the president, not the Electoral College.
