In the 2000 presidential election, George W. Bush won the electoral vote, but his opponent, Al Gore, won the popular vote. In 2016, the same scenario occurred between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton, respectively. These events have reignited debate as to whether the Electoral College is an appropriate method for presidential election. After reading the scenario, respond to A, B, and C below: (A) Describe a power Congress could use to address the information outlined in the scenario.
(B) In the context of the scenario, explain how the power described in Part A can be affected by perspectives on one of the foundational principles of U. S. government.
(C) In the context of the scenario, explain how the foundational principle in Part B affects the structure and function of the federal government

to reform the distraught soviet union, the democratization of the communist party was promoted through party secretary mikhail gorbachev's policies of “perestroika” and “glasnost.” perestroika refers to the reconstruction of the political and economic system established by the communist party.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
