For anyone who thinks executive orders are very limited in scope and only apply to fill-in areas of law passed by congress, may I direct you to EO9066 that forcibly removed american citizens of japanese decent from their homes into concentration camps (FDR's words. Emergency powers and martial law exist in the US too. President is given far more leeway then. Scared people dont hold people to account.
And for Star Wars fans, some believe palpatines -execute order 66- was based on FDR's EO 9066.

The POTUS and entire Executive Branch can be usurped by Congress if both House and Senate hold same party majority. House impeaches POTUS, goes to Senate for vote. Senate impeaches POTUS. POTUS removed, VP becomes POTUS, House impeaches POTUS, goes to Senate for vote, Senate impeaches POTUS, POTUS removed, Speaker of the House becomes POTUS. Executive Branch taken by majority party in Congress. No balance of power in our system. Has never happened but our system allows it.

The electoral college was designed to protect the minorities voice in a country with vastly disparate values and goals.
Simplifying it a not trusting the popular vote, is like saying I don't trust two wolves and a sheep to vote on what's for lunch. Mob rule, is not desirable. And there is no reason people in Wyoming should have the same laws applied to them because of high populous states like New York and California.

Being born in the US or one of it's territories does not make you necessarily a Natural Born Citizen which is the actual requirement not just being born in the US. Natural Born Citizen means a person who is born of Citizen parents. Specifically the citizenship flowing from the citizenship status of the father.

Dude don-t give your opinion on the electoral college. It-s terrible to use your authority to just imply that it-s a bad unfair system instead of actually clarifying what the intent is, and hen letting people decide for them self. That is biased and that is bad.

I am kinda tired of crash course telling me that The founding fathers created the electoral college because they didn't want Al Gore to be president. they created the EC because they thought it would stop the tyranny of the majority over the minority.

U literally said that they didn-t want to give the president to much power so citizens wouldn-t think of them as a king/queen but the royal family have no power they are just a public figure

I actually love that these episodes start from the Constitutional law and spin outward, because that's how the whole system (is supposed to) work(s): )

I think you got the electoral college thing wrong. In 2016 the electoral college elected a scary demagogue in opposition to the popular vote.
