How did the electon of 1800 change all presidential elections to come?
It lead to the creation of the Twelfth Amendment, which addresses the issue of choosing the Vice President. The protocol prior to this election was that the Presidential candidate with the most votes would win the office of President, and the second-place candidate would be awarded the office of Vice President. However, this system became flawed in 1800, and it became clear that this could not be a permanent system. The Twelfth Amendment was written in order to solve that problem.
Who ran against Robert Mugabe in the latest election?
President Robert Gabriel Mugabe [b. February 21, 1924] was the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front [ZANU-PF] candidate in the presidential elections of March 29, 2008. Dr. Simbarashe Herbert Stanley, ka Simba, Makoni [b. March 22, 1950] was an independent candidate. And Morgan Richard Tsvangirai [b. March 10, 1952] was the Movement for Democratic Change [MDC] candidate. Results, which were released on May 2, 2008, showed presidential candidates Makoni and Tsvangirai with about 8% and about 47% of the vote, respectively; and President Mugabe with about 43%. If no candidate received 50% of the total vote, plus one vote, there needed to be a runoff. But Tsvangirai withdrew his participation in a second round, on June 22, 2008. On July 22, 2008, Mugabe and Tsvangirai met publicly, to begin work on a powersharing agreement, which was signed on September 15, 2008. As a result, on February 11, 2009, Mugabe was sworn in as President, Tsvangirai as Prime Minister, and Professor Arthur Guseni Oliver Mutambara [b. May 25, 1966] as Deputy Prime Minister.
