Micah, Krimmel, SA,

All of it doesn't really amount to much. Presidents are selected by an
electoral college. 

"An electoral college is a set of electors, who are empowered as a
deliberative body to elect a candidate to a particular office. Often
these electors represent a different organization or entity with each
organization or entity by a particular number of electors or with votes
weighted in a particular way. Many times, though, the electors are
simply important persons whose wisdom, it is hoped, would provide a
better choice than a larger body. The system can ignore the wishes of a
general membership whose thinking may not be considered. When applied on
a national scale, such as the election of a country's leader, the
popular vote can on occasion run counter to the electoral college's
vote, and for this reason there are some who feel that the system is a
distortion of true democracy in a democratic society." -wiki(of course!)
