Electoral Issues

• Before the 12th Amendment, each presidential elector cast two votes--and they HAD to vote for two different people (at least one of whom could not be from the electors' home states).  The requirement for a majority electoral vote to be elected, then, was based on a majority of the number of electors, not the number of electoral votes.

12th Amendment

• The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

Lewis and Clark Info•

Long HaulThe expedition traveled over 8000 total miles over a period of 2 years, 4 months and 10 days.

Good GuessWhen the expedition reached the Pacific, Clark estimates they have traveled 4,162 miles from the mouth of the Missouri to the Pacific. His guess was within 40 miles of the actual distance.

An Equal Opportunity ExpeditionWhen the expedition reached the Pacific the party voted on where to spend the winter. York, Clark's slave, is allowed to vote, nearly 60 years before slaves in the U.S. would be emancipated. Sacagawea is also allowed to vote, more than a century before either women or Native Americans are granted full rights of citizenship.

OopsWhile hunting in present day North Dakota, Lewis was accidentally shot (in the behind) by Pierre Cruzatte, a nearsighted member of the crew.

Good BoyBefore the expedition began Lewis purchased a Newfoundland dog, Seaman, for $20. Although not mentioned very often in their journals, it is believed that Seaman made the entire journey.

What's for Dinner?When game was plentiful, each man ate about 9 pounds of meat per day.
