How a President of the United States is Elected: (In Questions and Answers) (Russian Edition)
How a President of the United States is Elected: (In Questions and Answers) (Russian Edition) This is the first book in Russian that describes the system of electing a U. S. President. Look at the following statements concerning U.S. Presidential elections: 1. The system of electing a U.S. President (the election system) was never designed to service the popular will. 2. The currently existing election system does not follow some major ideas of the Founding Fathers. 3. Certain election rules are such that if they were to be applied, an intervention of the U.S. Supreme Court in the election being in progress would be almost inevitable. 4. Amendment 12 of the U.S. Constitution contains at least six puzzles relevant to U.S. Presidential elections with answers that have remained unknown for more than 200 years. 5. The text of the U.S. Constitution contains a mathematically incorrect clause. 6. Skillfully using the election system may allow a U.S. Presidential candidate to win the U.S Presidency with, for instance, less than 30% of the nationwide popular vote. 7. The application of some of the election rules can lead to a constitutional crisis in the country. 8. When Americans cast their votes in U.S. Presidential elections, they do not vote for President or for Vice President, despite what they may see on the ballots or on the voting machines. 9. The "winner-take-all" principle does not encourage U.S. Presidential candidates to fight for each and every vote in a state or in DC. 10. Many statements about the Electoral College mechanism aimed at substantiating its presence in the election system, including those in the government publications, are no more than myths of their authors, no matter how plausible these myths may seem. 11. An electoral tie in the Electoral College may be resolved not necessarily in favor of a person voted for as President who has support from at least 26 delegations in the House of Representatives. 12. There is no need to abolish the Electoral College mechanism in order to make every cast vote valuable in deciding the election outcome. If these statements have drawn your attention, and you are interested in finding explanations, this book is written for you, and you will find these explanation in it. The system of electing a U.S. President (the election system) is very logically designed. This system has existed for more than 200 years, and many of its basic principles and conceptions have remained unchanged. Numerous attempts to make changes in these principles or even replace this system with a more understandable direct popular election system have so far failed. At the same time, some changes that have been made in the initial design of the system have engendered logical flaws in certain election rules and have made these rules fuzzy. These fuzzy rules are not given much attention in the media, since, under the existing two major party political system in the country, U.S. Presidential elections are usually decided in the Electoral College. Many proponents of the Electoral College mechanism try to substantiate this mechanism by claiming that the existing election system reflects ideas of the Founding Fathers embedded in the U.S. Constitution. However, the election system that was meant by the Founding Fathers and the election system that is currently in use are two substantially different election systems though both of the them employ the Electoral College mechanism. The existing election system and a direct popular system of electing a U.S. President (if it were introduced) would produce the same election outcomes only in a narrow spectrum of possible developments in U.S. Presidential elections. Moreover, the system of electing a U.S. President was never designed to service the popular will, and a U.S. President is not, generally, a President of the American people and is not elected by the nation as a whole.

Open Question: Social Security number to sign checks for a non-profit corporation?
I have recently been elected Treasurer of a non-profit incorporated club in Wisconsin. At the bank, when I stopped to pick up a new signature card, I was told they would need copies of the drivers license of each signer AND their Social Security number. I was horrified. I am not about to give my personal Social Security number for this club. When discussing the situation with the other Executive Officers, none of them wanted to give their SS numbers either. This was not requested last year with the change of officers. When I questioned the bank, they said it was "part of the Patriot Act". I think it's bologna. We are okay providing our drivers license. Are we going to end up being forced to give our personal SS # information to the bank? How can we get around this? Thanks for any help you can provide! (more...)

Open Question: Why do most christians believe we will not go through tribulation?
I am a christian (follower of Christ) non denominational. I have been doing a lot of studying on tribulation and the signs of the times for years and it is so plain that we all will be going through tribulation. Matt 24:21 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matt 24: 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light: the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. (30) "then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (31) "And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the he four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. also in mark 13. and luke 17 describes all the things that will happen. and if some are going to use the verse where it says one will be taken and the other left here is my theory. I think it means arrested and taken off to be afflicted. any thoughts. first read the chapters i have put up so you will know what you are talking about. Rev. 3 is talking about the faithfull church which may have already been removed so they will not have to endure the end times maybe maybe not. what about vs. 12 where it says "He who over comes, I will Make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more ect. Overcomes what? to someone's post ......and Elijah has already come back as John the Babtist according to Matt. 17:12-13 about Thessalonians 4 yes i agree it does say that we will be caught up together to meet the Lord in air. I don't dought that at all but it doesn't say then the world will go throught tribulation. it says more times that all these things must take place then we will see the coming of Christ on the clouds.
