 | The Presidency by Patricia R. Quiri
Who can be president of the United States? How did the office come to be? What is a day in the life of the president like? This and many other intriguing questions are answered simply and completely in these pages. The office of President was created during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and most of the presidential duties with which we are familiar today were established at that time. New Presidents are elected by the Electoral College, whose representatives equal the number of representatives each state has in Congress. The President's many duties keep him fully occupied, from the moment he is elected until his inauguration, and throughout his four-year term in office. AUTHOR: Patricia R. Quiri
