how can Trump win when Hillary had more votes?
Trump had more electoral votes while Clinton had the popular vote (She had more votes).
Hillary did not have the popular vote. Donald did. the news here said he was head and on line polls always showed Donald ahead and at election Donald has around a 8% lead.

And why can you only choose out of two people to become president in the first place?
Actually it starts with quite a few people before it goes down to the most popular candidates who win their party's nomination.
There's also other candidates 3rd party/Independent.
The Democratic(Jefferson) and Republican(Lincoln) both parties are very old "money groups" that are used to fund the presidential race. no independent/3rd party candidate has the money to run against them. So there is only two.

Why can you only be president for 8 years?
That's if you get re elected like Obama. Your really only facing 4 years in power..
The first president was president for about 40 years. they made it 4 years up to two times to make sure no one bad like President Obama stays too long.
miesmud:
And why can only people with TONS of money become president?
That's actually a really important question I've been wondering?
You have to have TONS of money to run as President to do this most people like Hillary get thier money from Large Banks in return for favors after being President. Donald has his own money and was able to run by him self.

I have no idea how much a president really CAN do, but I think it takes more than one man to end the world.
Law wise I think it has to pass through congress and since republicans who likely support Trump took control of both the House and Senate his laws are most likely going to pass..
Nuke wise. Trump can, he will be met by opposition but ultimately it's his decision.. scary isn't it?
No one liked Hillary she was a criminal. one of the worst ever seen going back to Nixon and getting kicked off of Watergate long before the crap she pulled here.
