Explain the four steps to the national election?

Explanation:

step 1- Primaries and caucuses

basically letting the states choose the major political parties' nominees for the general election

Step 2- National conventions

many rounds of conventions while the balloting continues until one receives the majority and then during the convention the presidential nominee announces their selection of a vise president  

Step 3- Electoral college

the electoral college is where the president and vise president are chosen by electors because they are not elected directly by the citizens

Step 4- Inauguration Day

This is where the president and vise president are sworn in and take office
