Someone told me that the party leaders used to pick the president after the public chose candidates. Like maybe the public used to choose a few candidates and then the party leaders would get together and choose the president themselves so the public didn’t actually choose the president, they just chose a few potential candidates. But they said there were protests by the public in like the 1960s or 50s or 70s (I forgot) and then the system changed in which the public got to choose the president instead of party leaders. And I’m not talking about the process of choosing the one party candidate who then goes head to head with the other party candidate in the election.
