Final answer:

The Electoral College directly selects the president of the United States.


Step-by-step explanation:

The group that directly selects the president of the United States is the Electoral College. When Americans vote for the president, they are actually voting for a group of electors who pledge to vote for a particular candidate. The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes (270 out of 538) becomes the president.
