The election of the President and Vice President of the United States is an indirect vote in which citizens cast ballots for a slate of members of the U.S. Electoral College; these electors in turn directly elect the President and Vice President. Presidential elections occur quadrennially (the count beginning with the year 1792) on Election Day, the Tuesday between November 2 and 8, coinciding with the general elections of various other federal, states and local races. The most recent was the 2008 presidential election, held on November 4 that year. The next will be the 2012 election, to be held on November 6.
The process is regulated by a combination of both federal and state laws. Each state is allocated a number of Electoral College electors equal to the number of its Senators and Representatives in the U.S. Congress. Additionally, Washington, D.C. is given a number of electors equal to the number held by the smallest state.U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College.
An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century. Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government. This process is also used in many other private and business organizations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations.
The universal use of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens. As the Elections were considered an oligarchic institution and most political offices were filled using sortition, also known as allotment, by which officeholders were chosen by lot.
Electoral reform describes the process of introducing fair electoral systems where they are not in place, or improving the fairness or effectiveness of existing systems. Psephology is the study of results and other statistics relating to elections (especially with a view to predicting future results).
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, television personality and author. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's extravagant lifestyle, outspoken manner and role on the NBC reality show The Apprentice have made him a well-known celebrity who was No. 17 on the 2011 Forbes Celebrity 100 list. He is well-known as a real-estate developer who amassed vast hotel, casino, and other real-estate properties, in the New York City area and around the world.
Trump is the son of Fred Trump, a wealthy New York City real-estate developer. He worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1968 officially joined the company. He was given control of the company in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization.
In 2010, Trump expressed an interest in becoming a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election. In May 2011, he announced he would not be a candidate, but a few weeks later he said he had not completely ruled out the possibility. In December 2011, Trump was suggested as a possible Vice Presidential selection by Michele Bachmann. Bachmann has since suspended her presidential campaign.
Jeune, j’ai souvenir d’une « Mme Nicole »
instit’ qui pensait qu’un Bougnoule n’était pas fait pour l’école !
J’portais un velours troué, des bottes rouges en plastique,
une cagoule en laine, un chandail ou des « Play-Basket ».
Le coiffeur ne savait même pas encore que j’existais !
Mais , soit sûr que le 1er qui nous a vus s’est désisté !
Pourtant jeune et innocent, la morve au nez sans Kleenex,
on squatte le bac à sable avec nos « Shabs » et nos idées
afin de faire du vandalisme même sans le savoir !
Nos parents n’ont pas donc on erre sans avoir !
D’après nos voisins, de gros racistes, je le précise,
nous étions mal élevés et leurs bergers allemands mieux dressés !
Moi, j’y crois pas , d’ailleurs j’y ai jamais cru
car , parental est le seul amour que j’ai jamais eu !
Donc pour pas se véner, ce qui me met à l’amende :
les vertus du « Naanaa » donc du thé à la menthe !
1ère époque bidonville, ambiance clandestine dans un bar à Barbès
thé à la menthe, couscous et tagines à la carte.
Plus de scopitones pour Mouloud et Saïd AbdAllah.
Avec un sale accent, pas de salamaleks me dit Hassan l’athlète
originaires d’Algérie , d’Hollywood à Tamanrasset.
Plus de thé à la menthe, juste des palabres amères !
Comme un malade mental, j’ai mal à la tête, je cavale en
stan-smith adidas, jean 501, ça va j’m’en tape !
Ici c’est v’là l’attentat, pour quelques douzes de plus, y a des
carnages dans l’air.
Cette France me désintègre : on classe l’Arabe comme un barbare
bancal !
Nique la culture du barbecue, du steak et des fast-foods !
Au bled , c’est la djellaba et les sandales, d’Oujda à Casablanca,
c’est banal en bas de la tess, je m’emmerde et je pèse que dalle.
Ça se balafre en bas de mon hall, ma peine et ma joie se
confondent,
et c’est tout ce qui reste de notre héritage culturel !
Une adolescence « Nastase et 501, Pento, cassette de funk et le
daron en 505 ».
Mais vint le mot « Problème » avec un grand P,
face auquel tout le monde a tremblé ou trempé !
Après l’innocence, le pessimisme s’est ancré,
devant l’incandescence, le droit chemin s’est cambré !
Je lui ai tendu la main et le bonheur m’a crampé,
genre « seul l’argent et l’honneur peut me rendre vrai » !
Mais ici, on peut t ‘accuser de choses que si t’avais fait : tu te
pendrais !
Il leur faut un arabe, un noir, c’que tu veux , bref du concret !
On a eu la chance de ne jamais se prendre au sérieux…
Côtoyer le vice sans jamais faire le saut périlleux.
Modelant notre vie loin du saut de l’ange…
A l’école , nous, vautours, contre l’albatros de Baudelaire !
On s’est retrouvé dans le rap contre toute réelle attente…
