Compare both National Presidential Elections of the U.S. and Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo

 Compare both National Presidential Elections of the U.S. and Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo

Both Nations are the Presidential Systems, the President has a mighty power to rule the Nation. There are cabinet or the White House in the U.S. secretaries to help the President to manage the government while in Taiwan, there is a Premier appointed by the President to form a cabinet with secretaries to help the President to rule the Nation. Both Presidents are elected every four years when a term ended. The check of balance in the U.S. is much better than in Taiwan because the rule and law system in the U.S. is much more mature than in Taiwan where the system is only 23 years old while in the U.S. is more than 147 years old. It is very interesting that in the U.S., the voters first to vote on the election day and every state decides the party winner in its individual state, the winner takes all electors which is the total numbers of the U.S. Senate and House members of tis state to form the Electoral College to decide the winner of the President. In Taiwan, its a total count of the vote. In the U.S., an individual state is like a nation itself and it's what that meaning of the United States.

Therefore, in the U.S. not every vote count such as my vote is not always be counted in Texas because it is a Republican state while vote Democrat. Trump has never the the total populate votes yet he grasped the electors in 2016 and lost in 2020 both in the populate votes and the electors in the U.S. Of course, he is still denying his loss in 2020 election. He will try again in 2024.

Now, it is getting very interesting for the Presidential Election in Taiwan this year. It doesn't matter if China like it or not, Taiwan is an independent Nation with a National Election  every four years. There are four sets of candidates representing three parties and one independent group to compete early next year on January 13, 2024 while the U.S. election will be in November, 2024. it's almost every day on the international newspaper to report Taiwan National Election. Polls to show more than 60% of voters in Taiwan would like to replace the incumbent, the Democratic Progressive Party while the opposition parties can't form an united front to challenge the DPP incumbent. I don't know the reason why like I don't know why Trump is still very popular in the Republican world in the U.S.
