Extractions: August 2000 Although elections are an annual theme in many social studies classrooms, presidential election years prompt increased interest among students in the electoral process and offer an opportunity to teach about a national election as it happens. This ERIC Digest describes legal and extralegal requirements and traditions of presidential elections, processes by which people seek and gain the office of president, and resources for teaching about presidential elections. REQUIREMENTS AND TRADITIONS OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. Americans elect their president through a combination of custom, state law, and constitutional requirement such as the electoral college as specified in Article II, Sections 2 and 4 and Amendment 12. Furthermore, Article II, Section 5 plus Amendments 20 and 23 of the United States Constitution pertain to election of the president. The following statements describe the presidential election system in the United States. * A president must be at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and a resident of the United States for a minimum of 14 years.
Extractions: 'The Fall of Ozymandias' by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. The following speech was presented to an EIR seminar in Washington, D.C. Dec. 12, and webcast simultaneously on www.larouchepub.com and www.larouchespeaks.com. Another webcast seminar is scheduled for Jan. 3, 2001. For many leading circles in the world today, the question is no longer, " Who is going to be the next President of the United States?," but, " What will the next President, whoever he is, become?" The problem is thatyou may not see it, but you should be able to feel itthe greatest crisis in modern history, at least in the past two centuries, is hitting the United States and the world right now, especially the United States, and this crisis is sitting on the White House steps, sitting like the ugliest monster, the hairiest monster, you ever saw, waiting to greet the next President when he arrives at the White House door. The problem is that, at present, the United States, its political system, is almost totally unprepared to deal with reality. The mess in the Congress, the mess in the Presidential elections, has given us two candidates, one who can't think, and the one we hope will not try to think, as the contenders for the Presidential selection. The selection is not over. The Electoral College process has to be gone through, as I'll deal with that. The Congress has to be dealt with, before our next President is actually selected. And the onrushing crisis is going to weigh heavily in the minds of people, in the Electoral College, in the Congress, and elsewhere, who have to deal with finally determining who is going to be the next President.

Extractions: I n my class we talked about democracy. We mostly discussed the voting process and how in a democratic government, the people make the decisions. We contemplated whether or not the classroom is a democracy (No!) and we discussed that. Then, I told the students to write a brief paragraph on whether or not their household is a democracy. R.

Journal Of Statistics Education, V9N1: Teaching Bits - Peterson The New York Times on the Web maintains a site on the 2000 election at In our last edition of Teaching Bits, we provided links to some of them. http://www.amstat.org/publications/jse/v9n1/peterson.html
Extractions: This text may be freely shared among individuals, but it may not be republished in any medium without express written consent. by David Leonhardt, The New York Times , November 12, 2000, "Week in Review," p. 3. by George Johnson, The New York Times , November 19, 2000, Sect. 4, p. 3. by John Allen Paulos, The New York Times , November 22, 2000, p. A27. These three articles comment on how close the presidential election was. They all echo the theme that the final difference was in some sense within the "margin of error" of our electoral process. Washington Post reports later in this column.) In the last article, John Allen Paulos (well-known as the author of Innumeracy ) also argues that the Florida election results amount to a tie. The difference is the certified tally is smaller than the errors obviously present: the tens of thousands of ballots disqualified for double voting, the anomalous total for Buchanan in Palm Beach, the disputed absentee ballots, and so on. The title of the article comes from Paulos' analogy that "measuring the relatively tiny gap in votes between the two candidates is a bit like measuring the lengths of two bacteria with a yardstick. The Florida electoral system, in particular, is incapable of making such fine measurements." Paulos concludes that we might as well toss a coin to declare a winner.

Extractions: friends in public office The outcome of the November 7 elections depends on educators doing all they can to get family, friends and colleagues to vote for the candidates who stand foursquare behind children and public education, WEAC President Terry Craney said. Educators carry unquestionable credibility in their communities on education matters, and people listen to what they have to say, Craney said. As educators, we know what works in the classroom, the place where political rhetoric meets reality, he said. We also know that elected officials from the schoolhouse to the White House determine the resources we get to do our jobs everything from textbooks and salaries to school repair and professional development. Craney pointed out that WEAC and NEA each have comprehensive member-driven processes for evaluating candidates and determining which would best serve public education, educators and children. Member recommendations will appear in the November issue of OnWEAC In Print.
FT February 2001: The Public Square The Two Politics of election 2000; When Bishops Speak The bishops are sayingthat x policy is in accord with Catholic teaching and y policy is not, http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0102/public.html
Extractions: The Public Square Richard John Neuhaus Late on the night of November 7, I announced to friends with whom I was watching the returns that I was going to retire as a political prognisticator. Not that I was ever a certified expert on political outcomes. Experts are certified chiefly by having been wrong more often than ordinary people. In fact, I had a pretty fair track record in predicting elections. But this time I paid the price of relying on inside information from the Bush camp. Right up to election day, Bush was supposed to win by at least a ten point margin in the popular vote and 330 or more in the electoral college. I have reason to believe that George W. Bush expected that as well. He and his people do not have the option of retiring as political prognisticators. I do. Roe v. Wade In politics, as in physics, an action creates a reaction, writes David Frum in the National Post Los Angeles Times New York Times x policy is in accord with Catholic teaching and y policy is not, or at least that one is more in accord than the other. Faithful Catholics understand that when bishops speak, individually or collectively, Catholics should be disposed to obey, or, at the very least, to pay most respectful attention.

World news: UN FOCUSES ON TURMOIL IN AMERIkISTAN After two decades in which social and financial inequalities widened amidst unsustainable speculative development, the country of Amerikistan held presidential elections this week. The two leading candidates were both drawn from a tiny elite, both spent vast sums on propaganda, and both have claimed victory. Experts on Amerikistan recall the history of violent revolution, civil war and more recent political violence and assassinations, resignations, impeachments, sexual scandals and corruption in this emergent republic, and recommend that the UN supervise its elections until the country stabilizes. "This country has used dangerous weapons in the past and often threatened to do so again. But with our help, modernization, and a stress on human development, it may have a more stable future and join the ranks of the civilized international community" he said.

Extractions: Early voting has begun in some states including our home state of Texas, and election day, November 7, is just seventeen days away. The debates are over, George W. Bush is holding a very slim lead over Al Gore, and Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan are campaigning hard, realizing they cant win but hoping they can secure at least 5% of the vote in order to keep the Green and Reform Parties eligible for federal funds in future election cycles. Many pro-life voters have contacted us for advice on how to vote in the presidential race. The October 13th issue of Human Events features a column by editor Terry Jeffrey entitled Can a Catholic Vote for Gore? which should prove helpful to not only Catholics but every pro-life American who wishes to be guided by an informed conscience in the voting booth. Mr. Jeffrey quotes Pope John Paul II in his 1995 encyclical letter, Evangelium Vitae , or The Gospel of Life: Nothing and no one can in any way permit the killing of an innocent human being whether a foetus or an embryo, an infant or an adult, an old person, or one suffering from an incurable disease, or a person who is dying. Furthermore, no one is permitted to ask for this act of killing, either for himself or herself or for another person entrusted to his or her care, nor can he or she consent to it, either explicitly or implicitly. Nor can any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action.

EVOTE.COM | Election 2000: Gun Control inDecision 2000 Voices of the Rabble Camping Out In Front of Al Gore s House Here, a long way from Florida courtrooms, Day 22 of the election battle http://www.evote.com/features/2000-11/campongore.asp
Extractions: Camping Out In Front of Al Gore's House evote.com summary A continuous series of rolling protests have been running in front of Al Gore's official residence in Washington almost since Election Day. Protests have been pretty quiet and orderly, though, with both Gore and Bush supporters waving signs for television cameras and reporters. Is there still enthusiasm for the White House battle? You bet, at least according to the folks holding signs. A skewed Bush/Cheney campaign poster dangles from a lamppost a few hundred yards from Vice President Al Gore's house. A prophetic sign of the times perhaps. The Naval Observatory has been home to the current Vice President for quite some time, and it's a fairly large structure. Lots of room for supporters and protesters outside and up the street; lots of room for Gore strategists to plot and plan inside. Playing for the Cameras Across the street, as the early morning commuters make their way down Massachusetts Avenue, Parvene Hamzavi carries a bag of Gore/Lieberman campaign materials she collected from the protests the night before. The network reporters have already done their first early broadcasts a great opportunity for supporters on either side to capture the eyes of the cameras, and, thus, the nation. There is only one problem: At this hour, the 23-year-old paralegal from Arlington, Va., is all-alone and her placards stay in her bag. Only the journalists, the cameramen and their boom trucks get more than a passing glance from the motorists. There is no one to honk messages of support to.
