Which Article of the U.S. Constitution provides for the election of the President?

• A. Article I
• B. Article III
• C. Article IV
• D. Article II

Answer: (D)

The presidential election is governed by Article II, which establishes the Electoral College as the method for selecting the President. States appoint electors equal to their total number of Senators and Representatives, and these electors cast ballots for President and Vice President. If no candidate wins a majority, the House selects the President from the top three electoral vote-getters, and the Senate selects the Vice President from the top two. Article II also covers presidential eligibility and terms, but the key point for this question is that the election process is defined in Article II, not in Article I (Congress), Article III (courts), or Article IV (state relations).
