👉 Non-presidential refers to a system in which no president is elected directly by the people but instead, appointed by the Senate. In this system, the President of the United States is chosen by the Senate, who then appoints a Vice-President for the remainder of their term. This arrangement was established after the 1800 election and has been used ever since to limit the power of the president and to prevent any one individual from becoming too powerful or entrenched in office.
