The President, currently Joe Biden, serves a four-year term, and the next election is in November 2024. Congress makes laws, and the Supreme Court interprets them to ensure they follow the Constitution.

Electoral campaigns are the competitive efforts by candidates and political parties to win voter support in the period preceding an election. Candidates use a variety of techniques to reach the voters, from public appearances and rallies to the use of mass media advertising. In the campaign, candidates work to get their messages out and to encourage voters to turn out and vote for them or their party. There are several campaign issues that can affect the freeness and fairness of the election.

Requirement n.1: citizen

To run for President of the United States, a person must meet certain requirements:1. Be a natural-born U.S. citizen – either born in the U.S. or born abroad to U.S. citizen parents. A well-known example of someone who wanted to run but didn’t meet the "natural-born citizen" rule is Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was born in Austria and couldn’t run for president, even though he was the governor of California. Henry Kissinger, a former Secretary of State born in Germany, also couldn’t run for the same reason.

National Conventions

To become the presidential nominee, a candidate typically has to win a majority of delegates. This usually happens through the party's state primaries and caucuses as previously explained. State delegates go to the national convention to confirm their choice of candidates by casting votes. (If no candidate gets the majority of a party's delegates during the primaries and caucuses, convention delegates choose the nominee. This happens through additional rounds of voting.)

At the convention, the presidential nominee officially announces who will run with them for vice president.
