canvey!! Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The Race for the Whitehouse ‘I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ The race for the Presidency is hotting up! And one of 14 CSE Forumers will be inaugurated next year! I can hardly wait. Let’s take a look at the challenge that lies before them. The Parties As we all know, there are two major political parties in the United States, the Democrats and the Republicans. As some may know, the MLS is divided into two sections: The Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. The Democrats are the Eastern Conference. The Republicans are the Western Conference. This is based on Barack Obama, a Democrat, being senator for Illinois (Chicago Fire – East), and John McCain, a Republican, being senator for Arizona (closest match, Chivas USA – West). These parties, made up of 7 candidates each, will contest internally to determine who their candidate will be to challenge the opposition for the US Presidency. Choose wisely, delegates. The Primaries and Caucuses Every political candidate has to go through this process to win the vote from their political party. This involves 30 debates, 16 against candidates from the same party, and 14 against candidates from the rival party. After every set of debates, the party members then vote for which candidate they want to take their party’s nomination based on that debating performance. There are more details to do with debates, which will be introduced to you in due course. The votes are put into a league table of candidates to see who the front runner for the nomination is. After all the debates have finished, the party’s front runner is then put forward as the candidate. Their mission, should they choose to accept it, is to run for the office of the President of the United States. The Running Mate This candidate can choose a fellow candidate to run alongside them as a running mate, aiming for the office of Vice President of the United States. The Running Mate will also score points in the general election. To prove you have been reading this far, adding “I want Joe Biden as my running mate” is always a very useful phrase to add to your sign-up form. The Election Both parties have two candidates; both candidates have a running mate. Now, the MLS Playoffs begin. Eight candidates, three from each party plus two regardless of their party, enter the playoffs as the general election. Hopefully, the candidate and their running mate are involved in these, as otherwise they will score no points. At the end of the playoff system, the election opens to the general public. Initially, there is a voting registration period, everyone in the Challenges, Sign-ups and Experiments Forum is entitled to vote provided that they register. Once the registration is complete, the voters are split into their states and they wait patiently for their chance to vote. Anyone involved in the sign-up is also eligible to vote, including the candidate who is eventually picked, although voting registration will close well in advance of them knowing who it is. The Result After all the votes have been counted, the President can be announced. Voters, if there are more than 50, are split into states, and each state votes for a candidate, rather than each vote counting towards a candidate. If all goes well, we should have 5 or so people for California, all the way down to 1 for states such as Wyoming and Alaska. Of course, this may not be the case, but we’ll try and make do. Once every state’s vote has been determined, the winner can be announced. Then, a few months later (not real time), they are inaugurated and must take the oath at the top of this page. After that, they are in office as the President of the CSE Forum. Signing Up has now closed. This sign-up is now in progress. Writer’s Notes This is my second sign-up, and lets hope things go well. If there are any questions, please ask, and if I feel they are important ones I will add them to the final opening post. A new thread will be created for the actual sign-up event, this is just for getting managers. There will also be a thread for voter registration, anyone may register for that. Please ensure you have read this post thoroughly and appended all relevant information to your sign-up form. Image Copyright ©2004-2008 EnchantedLearning.com.
