"The Constitutional Convention of 1787 considered several methods of electing the President, including selection by Congress, by the governors of the states, by the state legislatures, by a special group of Members of Congress chosen by lot and by direct popular election.

This plan, which met with widespread approval by the delegates, was incorporated into the final document with only minor changes."
