The vote for President and Vice-President will be of two components: popular vote of Adult Citizens and a proportional vote by State. The proportional vote shall be: The Senate votes go to the winner of the popular vote in the state. The Representative votes shall go to the winner of the popular vote in each Representative District. The winner of the proportional vote shall be the candidate who gets more than 50% of the proportional vote. The successful candidate must also win the popular vote in at least 50% of the States.
The winner of the vote shall not be by Plurality but by Majority. If there are three or more candidates for President and Vice-President, and no candidate collects the numbers outlined above then there must be a runoff the following week between the top two vote getters. The runoff vote will be conducted over two consecutive days and there will be no early voting. The vote must be held the Tuesday and Wednesday following the first vote.
If no candidate receives both necessary totals, then the election shall go to the new Congress to decide in this manner: Each Representative gets one vote. The Senators shall get one vote. The candidate chosen by most votes in this manner is allowed only one term of office.
To qualify to run for President, the candidate must belong to a political party that received at least 3% of the national vote in the previous federal election. The winner of an election between two candidates must have the most proportional votes and win the popular vote.
Before he enters on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Natural Rights of all its Citizens.”
At the completion of the election, the various States shall send the voting totals for that State to the President to the Senate. The Majority Leader of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted. Once counted, the President shall be declared.
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died and the Vice-President shall have died, the Congress sitting jointly may by law declare who shall then act as President, or the way one who is to act shall be selected. While sitting jointly to select a President, each Congressperson shall have one vote. Such a person is to serve one term only. That person is not eligible again for the Office of President.
The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the House of Representatives may choose a President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them, and for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the Senate may choose a Vice President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit at the same time to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
