The US Constitution requires that the president be elected by whom?

The electoral college
The popular vote
The House of Representatives
The Senate

The correct answer is: The electoral college

In the United States, Presidents are elected through a system known as the electoral college, which is outlined in the US Constitution. This system allows for each state to have a certain number of electors who ultimately choose the President, rather than a direct popular vote by the citizens. This explains why option B, the popular vote, is incorrect. In addition, while the House of Representatives and the Senate do play a role in the electoral college process, they do not directly elect the President, making options C and D incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is A - the electoral college.
