Yes, you read correctly, the 535 folks whom 80 percent of Americans dislike make these momentous decisions.

One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

    Nope… You’re right.

    And they can even hold the vote in a closed session.
