Presidential elections in the United States occur every four years. The process involves primaries, caucuses, and a general election. Voters choose electors who, in turn, cast their votes for the presidential candidates. The candidate who receives a majority in the Electoral College becomes the President. This system aims to balance the influence of populous states. Presidential campaigns are marked by debates, rallies, and intense media coverage. The President serves a four-year term and can seek re-election for one more term, making a maximum of eight years in office.
