Learn all about what it takes to run for—and win—the U.S. presidency in this fascinating guide for young readers, part of the trusted What Was? series. It’s the perfect way to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary!

What are the differences between America's two major political parties? Is the Electoral College really a college? And who meets the basic requirements to run for president of the United States? Readers will find answers to these questions and more in this illuminating guide to the laws and procedures surrounding a presidential election, delving into everything from stump speeches and campaign slogans, to debates and nominating conventions, and finally, to Election Night and Inauguration Day. This interactive book includes fill-in activities that prompt young scholars (and would-be candidates!) to consider the issues they care most about, and what makes a good president.

This easy-to-understand guide for young readers is a great way to spark discussion with friends and family, in addition to celebrating one of the greatest privileges of being a US citizen: voting for the president of the United States of America.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains a map of the United States from the book.
