Home rule as generally applied would be dangerous for any county. However, there are ways that it could be implemented by the people of the county. 4. Yes, the people of Mcenry County are unique in that they have access to many areas for land fills all over the county. Depleted gravel pits, low lying agricultural areas, land that may be considered as flood plain. The ecology people have set guidelines in this situation. As we know, waste materials are thought of as a liability, however, I feel they could also be an asset. As to who will manage and maintain these areas is another situation. Of prime importance is the cost of the removal for each citizen. Without control by the county, I feel the monthly pick-up fees could become astronomical.

PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT (Not covered in this Guide) The President and Vice President are the only elective Federal officials not chosen by direct vote of the people. They are elected by the Electoral College, an institution that has survived since the founding of the nation. On Presidential election day, each state chooses as many Electors as it has Senators and Representatives in Congress. In 1964 for the first time, as provided by the 23rd Amendment to the Constitution, the District of Columbia voted for 3 Electors. Thus, there are 538 Electors in the College, with a majority of 270 votes needed to choose the President and Vice President. Illinois has two senators and 24 representatives for a total of 26 Electors. The Electors meet on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. By long-established custom, they vote for their party nominee, thus giving all the state's electoral votes to him. Certified and sealed lists of the votes of the Electors in each state are mailed to the President of the U.S. Senate. He opens them in the presence of the members of the Senate and House in joint session held on Jan. 6 (or the next day if that falls on Sunday). If no candidate for President has a majority, the House of Representatives chooses a President from among the three highest candidates. If no candidate for Vice President has a majority, the Senate chooses from the top two. Under this system, it is possible for a candidate to receive the most popular votes in November, yet lose the election by not receiving the majority of the Electoral College vote. This occurred in the elections of 1824, 1876 and 1888. To qualify for the Presidency, a candidate must be a natural born citizen of the U.S., 35 years of age, and have been a resident of the U.S. for 14 years. SALARY: $200,000 a year salary, taxable; $50,000 a year expense allowance, taxable, to assist in defraying expenses resulting from his official duties; $100,000 a year, nontaxable, may be expended for travel expenses and official entertainment. TERM: Four years, beginning on January 20 of the year following election. No more than two terms or ten years. POWERS AND DUTIES: Executes the laws of the nation; Commander-in- Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force; appoints ministers, consuls, judges, and other officers, receives foreign ministers; may remove officers and fill vacancies; may make treaties with consent of two-thirds of Senate; Signs or vetoes bills passed by Congress; may grant reprieves and pardons; may call special session of Congress or of either house; delivers a message to Congress each January and at other times.
