Shut your mouth, inferior one. Do you remember a thread named "rampant"? Go read it, and see how stupid you are.

And since you're such a homo and concerned with my life, I actually had a test today, so I was up all night studying. While I was studying, I used my posts making 7even look like an idiot to keep me awake. He saw the same fate you did a while back. Now go and talk about politics to elementary kids because they might actually think you're right about the shit you say.

If no candidate is able to achieve the 270 minimum, it goes to the 'House of Reps' for a decision.

Ok, that makes sense. Could you possibly elaborate a bit? How does that work? Thanks.

No problem. It comes down to a simple vote. The candidate with the two thirds majority would be the new president elect. If the House can't come to a concensus it then moves on to the supreme court. The fact that the two party system is ingrained into American politics; the House may never have to vote. A thrid party would have to become popular enough to recieve electoral votes to prevent any candidate from reaching the 270 minimum.
