step 1- Primaries and caucuses
basically letting the states choose the major political parties' nominees for the general election

many rounds of conventions while the balloting continues until one receives the majority and then during the convention the presidential nominee announces their selection of a vise president
Step 3- Electoral college
the electoral college is where the president and vise president are chosen by electors because they are not elected directly by the citizens
Step 4- Inauguration Day
This is where the president and vise president are sworn in and take office
