The United Federation Electoral College is the group of presidential electors required by the Constitution to form every four years for the sole purpose of appointing the president and vice president. Each state appoints electors based on the methods prescribed by the state's legislature, equal to the number of its congressional delegation (Delegates and Senators).
History
The electoral college was de facto established on 10 March 2023 by the Continental Congress, but was de jure established by the constitution.
Procedure
Article II, Section I, Clause 2 of the United Federation Constitution directs each state to appoint a quantity of electors equal to that state's congressional delegation (members of the House of Delegates plus two Senators). The same clause empowers each state legislature to determine the manner by which that state's electors are chosen but prohibits federal office holders from being named electors.
Electors are not permanent employees and only work for the duration of a Presidential Election.
Mechanisms
Contingencies
Presidential Election by House
If no presidential candidate receives a majority of the votes then the House of Delegates is called to sit for a special session. During this session, the house is required to elect a president.
Vice Presidential Election by Senate
If no candidate for vice president receives an absolute majority of electoral votes, then the Senate must go into session to choose a vice president. The Senate is limited to choosing from the two candidates who received the most electoral votes for vice president.
Joint Session of Congress
The United Federation Congress is summoned to a joint session to count the votes of a presidential election and declare the winners.
Members of Congress can object to any state's vote count, provided objection is presented in writing and is signed by at least one member of each house of Congress. An objection supported by at least one senator and one representative will be followed by the suspension of the joint session and by separate debates and votes in each House of Congress; after both Houses deliberate on the objection, the joint session is resumed.
