Proof a 3rd Party can win the 2012 Election for President of the United States

by USMJP
Proof that a 3rd Party can win the 2012 Election for President because when no candidate receives the required 270 Electoral College Votes, then the U.S. House of Representatives in Congress chooses the next President of the United States.
If enough of them want to make one of the Major Parties "History", they can elect the candidate who comes in 3rd place. American Politics at its Fiercest!
Proof that a third party candidate can win the 2012 election for President of the U.S.A.:

The First Party System of The United States featured
the FEDERALIST Party and the DEMOCRAT-REPUBLICAN Party.
The Era of Good Feelings (1816–1824), marked the end of the First Party System.

The elitism of the Federalists had diminished their appeal,
and their refusal to support the War of 1812 verged on secession
and was a devastating blow when the war ended well.

It is now 2012, the Bicentennial of 1812, and the two party system of
Democrats and Republicans can be defeated by a 3rd party this election year.
History will repeat itself.

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the required 270 votes
to be elected President, then the House of Representatives
elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most
electoral votes. Each State delegation has one vote.

The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates
with the most electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President.

If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day,
the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.

Because the Libertarian Party is the 3rd largest political party currently in the U.S.A.,
it is time to take candidates like Ron Paul and Gary Johnson a lot more seriously.

You don't know where peoples' loyalties may lie when they have an opportunity
to change history and make one of the major parties "history"!

2012 will show us American politics at its fiercest!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
