Only, the President/Vice President (they are elected as a pair) are not elected by popular vote, but by a complicated system called the Electoral College, in which people actually vote for Electors, and not directly for their preferred candidate. It is possible to be elected president even if you received less popular votes than another candidate, if you received more Electoral College votes.
