Section 4: Ending the Electoral College

A majority of Americans have opposed the Electoral College for a long time.

This is one way to end it.

The President and Vice President shall be elected by the people.

The persons having the greatest number of votes for President and Vice President shall be elected, so long as such persons have a majority of the votes cast.

If no pair of candidates receives a majority, the two pairs of candidates who received the most votes will have a runoff election on the Tuesday after the first Monday in December.

Congress has the power to determine entitlement to inclusion on the ballot for the office of President and Vice President. Otherwise, inclusion on the ballot shall be governed by the laws of each State.

The House of Representatives shall have the power to resolve, by majority vote of its members, any tie vote in the general election or the runoff election for President and Vice President. If the House itself is evenly divided, the Speaker of the House shall cast the deciding vote.
