During the general election, Americans head to the polls to cast their vote for President. But the tally of those votes—the popular vote—does not determine the winner.
To win the election, a candidate must receive a majority of electoral votes. In the event no candidate receives the majority, the House of Representatives chooses the President and the Senate chooses the Vice President.

Presidents and other members of the executive office can be dismissed through a process of impeachment and conviction if the president is found unfit to lead.
To prevent the president from having too much power and abusing it, the judicial and legislative branches provide checks and balances against the executive branch's powers.
