Who Directly Elects the President of the United States?

The President of the United States is directly voted into office by C. electors elected by the voters.

Here's why:

The US uses a system called the Electoral College to elect the President. When citizens cast their vote for President, they are actually voting for a group of electors who pledge to support their chosen candidate. These electors then officially cast the votes that determine the President.

Let's break down the other options:

• A. all citizens of America: While all citizens are represented in the election, not all are eligible to vote (such as those under 18).* B. the citizens over 18 years old: Eligible voters choose electors, not the President directly. * D. the Senators and the Representatives: Senators and Representatives are part of the legislative branch and do not directly elect the President.

Understanding the Electoral College system is crucial for comprehending US Presidential elections.
