Committee Chairman- I would say that he/she is in charge of the proceedings of a committee

President protempore- A senator who presides over the Senate in the absence of the Vice-President

suppresses all opposition and controls many aspects of its citizens - I would suggest it controls ALL aspects of its citizens' lives.

Electoral College--

Watch your typing! Lots of typos.
