THE UNITED STATES IS A REPUBLIC, WHICH MEANS THAT THE PEOPLE HOLD THE POWER AND THEY ELECT REPRESENTATIVES TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
THE UNITED STATES ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS THE INSTITUTION THAT ELECTS THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES EVERY FOUR YEARS.

U.S. Constitutional Requirements for Presidential Candidates
The president must:
Be a natural-born citizen of the United States
Be at least 35 years old
Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years

The election process of US President can be consolidated into five steps:
Step 1: Primaries and Caucuses
Step 2: National Conventions
Step 3: Election Campaigning
Step 4: General Election
Step 5: Electoral College.

Step 1: Primaries and Caucuses ​
State primaries are run by state and local governments. Voting happens through secret ballot.
There are several types of primaries in the U.S. system like Closed primary, Semi-closed primary, Open primary and Semi-open primary.

Caucuses are private meetings run by political parties. They’re held at the county, district, or precinct level. In most, participants divide themselves into groups according to the candidate they support. Undecided voters form their own group. Each group gives speeches supporting its candidate and tries to get others to join its group. At the end, the number of voters in each group determines how many delegates each candidate has won.

Step 2: National Conventions of Each Party
Each party holds a national convention to finalize the selection of one presidential nominee. At each convention, the presidential candidate chooses a running-mate (vice-presidential candidate).

Step 3: General Election Campaigning
General election campaigning begins after a single nominee is chosen from each political party, via primaries, caucuses, and national conventions.
These candidates travel the country, explaining their views and plans to the general population and trying to win the support of potential voters. Rallies, debates, and advertising are a big part of general election campaigning.

Step 4: General Election (Popular Vote)
Usually in November
When people cast their vote, they are actually voting for a group of people known as electors.
The voters of each state, and the District of Columbia, vote for electors to be the authorized constitutional members in a presidential election. These voters form the electoral college.

An elector is a member of the electoral college. These electors, appointed by the states, are pledged to support the presidential candidate the voters have supported.
Even though the majority of people of the USA vote for a candidate, that does not mean that he/she will win the Presidential election. There are instances where a candidate who won the popular vote lost the election.
To win the election, a candidate needs to secure more than 270 electoral votes.

Step 5: Electoral College (Electors vote for the US President)
Usually in December.
The US the president is elected by the institution called the Electoral College.
The Constitution only states that the candidate who receives a majority of votes in the Electoral College becomes president. It says nothing about the popular vote.
The intent of the framers was to filter public opinion through a body composed of wiser, more experienced people; the framers did not want the president to be chosen directly by the people.

Aside from Maine and Nebraska, if a candidate gets the most votes within a state they receive that state’s full quota of electoral college votes.
Each elector casts one electoral vote following the general election.
There are a total of 538 electoral votes.
The candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election.
