Electing the President: The Constitutional Process and History

Dr. T. J. Davis, Arizona State University, School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies

Presidential elections generate lots of heat but not necessarily much light about the indirect, layered election process the U.S. Constitution’s framers created. That process has generated contention, concern, and change. With the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November on the horizon, join us for a FRANK talk about how and why the U.S. presidential election process works the way it does.

FRANK Talks are free, thought-provoking, expert-facilitated discussions on important issues facing our communities.
