Hapana, hujaweza kunielewa hata siku moja. Mimi si team Clinton, ila kwa hali ya sasa namuunga mkono kwa sababu namuona kama
the most prepared, the most capable and has the best temperament. Lakini sioni ajabu, wapo watu wameniita Chadema kwa sababu tu siipendi CCM...uamuzi namuachia the
beholder!
Sasa turudi kwenye hoja na naomba nikupe hizi
facts tano kuhusu Marekani...
- In 1824 Andrew Jackson won the popular vote but got less than 50% of the electoral votes. John Quincy Adams became the next president when he was picked by the House of Representatives.
- In 1876 Samuel Tilden won the popular vote but lost the election when Rutherford B. Hayes got 185 electoral votes to Tilden’s 184.
- In 1888 Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but lost the election when Benjamin Harrison got 233 electoral votes to Cleveland’s 168.
- In 2000 Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election to George Bush. In the most highly contested election in modern history, the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the Florida recount of ballots, giving Bush the state’s 25 electoral votes for a total of 271 to Gore’s 255.
Na ya tano ni hii kuhusu kurudishwa Ikulu mtu huyo huyo baada ya kutoka madarakani...
Grover Cleveland was elected president (1884) then lost his re-election campaign (1888) and came back again to win the presidency for a second time. (1892)
Na mwisho kabisa ni kiapo cha Rais wa Marekani...
I do solemnly swear [or affirm] that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,
and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
