How he got there

From the Trump impeachment trial brief --

The President of the United States occupies a unique position in the structure of our government. He is chosen directly by the People through a national election to be the head of an entire branch of government and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and is entrusted with enormous responsibilities for setting policies for the Nation.

That's just factually wrong. The President is indirectly elected. The people choose the members of the electoral college, and the electoral college elects the President.
