How can an independent person become president of the United States?


An independent person can become President of the United States by meeting the basic constitutional requirements and successfully navigating the complex process of ballot access and the electoral college system.
. 
Here's a breakdown:
1. Meeting Constitutional Requirements:
  • Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
  • Be at least 35 years old.
  • Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years. 
2. Gaining Ballot Access:
  • Unlike major party candidates who are nominated at national conventions, independent candidates must be placed on the ballot on a state-by-state basis.
  • This typically involves collecting a specific number of signatures from registered voters in each state.
  • Some states may allow an independent candidate to pay a filing fee instead of collecting signatures, while others have different methods for determining the signature requirement.
  • These requirements and processes vary from state to state. 
3. Navigating the Electoral College:
  • The US presidential election is decided by the Electoral College, not the popular vote.
  • To be elected president, an independent candidate must win a majority of electoral votes (at least 270).
  • This means securing enough electoral votes in various states to reach the required majority. 
4. Campaigning and Funding:
  • Independent candidates must register with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) if they raise or spend more than $5,000 for their campaign.
  • They also need to establish a campaign committee to manage fundraising and expenditures. 
5. Overcoming Challenges:
  • Independent candidates face significant challenges, including limited financial resources, lack of party infrastructure, and difficulty gaining media attention compared to major party candidates.
  • The two-party system in the US makes it challenging for independent candidates to gain traction and widespread support. 
In summary, becoming an independent candidate for president requires meeting the basic constitutional requirements, successfully getting on the ballot in enough states to win a majority of electoral votes, and overcoming the significant challenges inherent in running outside the two-party system

My life was crippled by the assaults that happened weekly on my 6 Am morning "Indpls Star" paper route.

  As a former Indianapolis Star and news paperboy, I would like to know why the Indianapolis Paper has never done an in-depth report on themselves and all the Pedofhile and rapists that the employees of the Indiana Star paper did with us kids just to make a dime a copy. My life was crippled by the assaults that happened weekly on my 6 Am morning paper route. I was assaulted by my first politician, who was a member of the School board and taught High School at Tech. One Dick Lugar. I was attacked by a Local Catholic priest; by a twist of fate, I would later Marry (Father Morley and his c-sucking Brother Bud Morley. A local Bail bondsman in the Marion County court system. They proved that knowing who you know is essential when committing crimes against kids or a local traffic stop. My Catholic wife and their Catholic Family would never be the same in Indy. I became so distracted I decided to change the world and started my own political "Party Public Party of Indiana" 12 years ...

In the beginning here was

 The basic building blocks of life (BBB Of L) are position, location, direction, and drive. The area seems to be the easy one. Until later when one sees the stars. The moon and the milky way. Position could mean body. Position in a family or higher race or group. Male female only child or one in many. All things are born in the hopes of the family who want more and better for each of you. Race and religion lifestyle and course of action. Most are positions of many. Lots of cells make up a liver or fingernail. When the finger grows in the womb, they are not disregarded during growth. They are a lifetime friend to the whole body. They can carry food, pick up an afraid child, or scratch a lover's back. They simply become part of the entire body. No other body part can question this. This happens because of a drive from a knowing source; DNA. The eyes do not ask permission to see. The nose asks not for a head nod to smell or the finger to feel. He hits resistance to change from Mom and...
