They appealed to the Supreme Court, where, by a slim 5-4 majority, with a most emphatically stated dissenting opinion, the wire-tap was upheld. Huge popular support for Jackson caused him to be elected President in 1829. http://www.ark-of-salvation.org/money_2003.htm      UMP - encyclopedia article about UMP.

In the congressional elections of 2000 the Republicans held on to a slender majority in the House; in the Senate each party held 50 seats, leaving the tie-breaking vote in the hands of the new Republican vice-president. After a bitter internal party struggle prior to the 1964 Republican convention, Sen. Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona wrested the presidential nomination and control of the Republican party away from the Eastern moderates and began an attempt to convert the party into an ideologically pure conservative party. http://ap.grolier.com/article?assetid=0245550-0&templatename=/article/article.html      Independent Democrat Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the Parliament Elections, the IDU had a marginal loss of senators and deputies, and became the major party of the Congress, but they and their allies of National Renewal lost the majority of the seats in both the Senate and the House. In the Parliament elections of the 2001, the IDU had a great victory, becoming the most voted political party pf Chile, overcoming the Christian Democrat Party and obtaining majority in the Congress. In 1998, when Gen. Pinochet became a Senator for life (due to a constitutional rule), the IDU supported his appointment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Democrat_Union   (1168 words)      US presidential electoral system The US presidential electoral system is archetypal in this: the president is de facto elected by the states of the Union, where each state gets a number of votes (in the electoral college) according to its population. This is not what the presidential election is, but it hardly matters: it could just as well be used for that purpose, it is a handy way of measuring power, and, in any case, third party candidates are, in the United States, unimportant enough to be negligible. We show that this system is biased toward populous states, giving a citizen of California roughly four times more power than one of Montana in the choice of the US president. http://www.madore.org/~david/misc/us-voting.html   (3807 words)      History of France The center-right coalition party led by both Chirac and a resurgent Juppé--Union for a Presidential Majority (UMP)--won 399 out of 577 seats in the National Assembly, thereby securing for Chirac and his party a majority in the government. As expected, in the second round of the presidential election on May 5th, 2002, Jacques Chirac comfortably defeated Jean-Marie Le Pen, a veteran leader of the far-right National Front. Chirac was first elected in 1995, and his party, the RPR, won an absolute majority in the National Assembly (470 out of 577 seats). http://www.historyofnations.net/europe/france.html   (3807 words)      Electoral College Electoral votes were split among four presidential candidates, with no one having a majority: Andrew Jackson, 99; John Quincy Adams, 84; William Crawford, 41; Henry Clay, 37. The Republican electors whose candidates were former Vice President Richard M. Nixon of New York and Maryland Governor Spiro T. Agnew, received less than 500,000 votes (less than 1 per cent) more than did the Democratic electors, whose candidates were Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota and Maine Senator Edmund S. Muskie. (Electors for Abraham LIncoln's party did not appear on the ballot in 10 of the 33 states.)

Political volatility surrounding the nomination of KANU’s presidential candidate in the upcoming elections increased when Moi announced that he was backing 41-year-old Uhuru Kenyatta as his successor. None of the issues facing the workers and masses of Kenya are addressed by any party and the political climate is dominated by the squabblings of the ruling elite as it thrashes out how best to defend its privileged position at the expense of the impoverished majority. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/nov2002/keny-n05_prn.shtml   (1373 words)      A Tribute to (For dummies) In the 1854 Congressional elections, 44 Republicans were elected as part of the anti-Nebraskan majority in the House, and many Republicans were elected to the Senate and various state houses.
