Electoral College(29)=congressman(27)+senator(2)
The United States Electoral College is the body that elects the President and Vice President of the United States every four years. Citizens of the United States do not directly elect the president or the vice president; instead they choose "electors", who usually pledge to vote for particular candidates.Each state has a number of electors equal to the number of Senators and Representatives to which the state is entitled. The District of Columbia has the lesser of the number of electors it would have if it were a state, and the number of electors of the least-populous state (currently three). Therefore, there are 538 electors, corresponding to the 435 Representatives and 100 Senators, plus the three electors for the District of Columbia. The Constitution bars any federal official, elected or appointed, from being an elector.

．In grey: 4 electors from Clinton-leaning New Hampshire
．In blue: 228 Clinton electors from 18¾ states and D.C.
President-elect
President-elect of the United States is the title used for an incoming president of the United States during the period between the general election on Election Day in November and noon Eastern Standard Time on Inauguration Day, January 20, during which the president-elect is not in office yet. Since the election for U.S. president is an indirect election, the title is used for the apparent winner and is finalized when votes of the Electoral College, cast in December, are counted by a joint session of Congress in early January. If a sitting president has won re-election, the incumbent is not referred to as a president-elect because he or she is already in office and is not waiting to become president. Likewise, if a Vice President succeeds to the Presidency by way of the President's death or resignation, that person never holds the title of President-elect, as they would become President immediately upon their predecessor's death or resignation.
President Elect Inauguration
The inauguration of the President of the United States is a ceremonial event marking the commencement of a new four-year term of a president of the United States. The day a presidential inauguration occurs is known as "Inauguration Day" and occurs on January 20 (or 21st if the 20th is a Sunday).
Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans", is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint. Joan of Arc was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée, a peasant family, at Domrémy in north-east France. Joan said she received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent Joan to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims. This long-awaited event boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory.
