ELECTIONS GO TO COLLEGE?
Not quite! The Electoral College helps sort through the millions of votes cast in every presidential election. Each state gets a number of votes based on its population.
WHY DONKEYS & ELEPHANTS?
In 1874, political cartoonist Thomas Nast chose a donkey to represent the Democratic Party, and an elephant to represent the Republican Party. The rest is history!
CHECK PLEASE!
The U.S. Government splits power evenly between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches through a system called checks and balances.
FIRST PRESIDENT EVER!
George Washington was the first official President of the United States. Maybe your great great great grandkid will be the 86th!
ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS
Even though his face is on the hundred-dollar bill, Benjamin Franklin was never President! Same goes for Alexander Hamilton (the face of the ten-dollar bill).
