The statement that best explains how the election process for federally elected positions compares with the election process for the president is:
"The election process for the president uses an indirect method of voting whereas members of the House of Representatives and Senate are directly elected by the people."
This is accurate because the president is elected through the Electoral College system, which is an indirect method of voting. In contrast, members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are elected directly by the voters in their respective states.
