33 photos from the US Presidency

On this election day, while you wait for the winner to be announced, browse through these 33 milestone photos from the past 180 years of US President’s history. This is an article published on Saturday in UK’s newspaper on line ‘The Guardian.’ Just a little history of elections in the USA....the winner needs to get 270 votes from the 50 US states. Each state has a number of votes, depending on how big the state is. So Texas and California have more votes, while Rhode Island and Hawaii have a few votes. Moreover, each town and village in the USA have to vote also for a number of senators, 2 in each state, 100 in all; and a number of congressmen, 435 in total. Senators are elected for 6 years and congressmen for 2 years. Each town also votes for school boards, firehouse boards, Governors, Mayors, abortion or  other controversial issues, and many other positions. But every 4 years the election includes the President, which is happening today, between Trump and Harris. But enjoy these 33 photos and the story behind them......click on this link......
