President is not elected by the people anyway. That is why we have Electoral college, because the Founding Fathers (particularly Federalists like Hamilton and Madison and Jay) believed true Democracy was doomed to failure because of an ignorant electorate prone to Despotism. That is how a candidate like Al Gore or Richard Nixon can have the majority of the votes, yet they’re opponent can claim to have a mandate by the people to run the country. Read judge Scalia’s views on Democracy and the Popular vote in his majority opinion regarding the 2000 election - not very in line with what most of us were taught in school, but much closer to the true nature of this nation’s foundation.
