Electing the President. Six Steps to the Summit
Description
Explaining the presidential election process to students may border on the impossible, yet this program accomplishes just that. Revised for the 2012 election, this one-of-a-kind video employs footage of candidates and events to trace the necessary and customary steps for electing the U.S. president. This latest revision takes into account the changes in the process that have occurred since the 2004 and 2008 elections. Segmented for classroom use, the program thoroughly details: the rise and importance of primaries; the evolution and purpose of the conventions; the changing campaign and the impact of debates; the voting procedures; the electoral process; and congressional action and the emergence of the courts.
