Can someone tell me why presidential elections happen on a leap year, I have a feeling this is some sort of.... Conspiracy!

You have a good mind young Kate. The New World Order needs the extra day in order to complete their weird rituals and seal the fate of us all.

Why is the US the main character of this narrative? Hack. Writers. But this is the story we are in.

The first US President, George Washington, was elected in 1788 and sworn in in 1789. US Presidential elections have been held every four years since. Unlike 6 year terms for the Senate and 2 year terms for the House of Congress. (Not all inthe same years.) Leap year is also every 4 years and was introduced by Julius Caesar.

Is it something to do with 1776? That was a leap year (and 200 years before I was born).

What would they gain from it being a leap year?

The conspiracy is Salaried Employees. Work for free?? WTF??
