  1.  @ISeeWaffles  The Germans actually did not vote "for Hitler" specifically, it was quite a tragic time because the traditional conservative party wanted to be in power again. The liberal party was the one who ruled during the Weimar Republic and they were extremely unpopular due to residing over it during the Great Depression, and on top of that, the harsh penalties imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. However the conservatives had trouble gaining grassroots support, because they were identified as "the Kaiser Wilhelm party." The Nazis had started to gain good grassroots support because of fear of Communism -- there was real street-fighting between Nazis and Communists in Berlin at the time, which Hitler participated in. There was also not a small amount of resentment held by German veterans from the last war, who felt that Britain and France had done them dirty with the treaty, and a lot of them supported the Nazi party. So the conservatives made a deal with the Nazis where Hitler would be placed as chancellor if people voted for the conservative party. It worked, but you'd just be voting "for the conservatives" if you were voting as a German. And as we know, the Nazi party leadership basically backstabbed everyone to get into total power at that point, abusing an emergency powers loophole to stay in total power (just like Julius Caesar did, coincidentally).

  2.  @delarkaBCN  It has to be ratified by Congress and it is only temporary. You sign up to be drafted the moment you register to vote, assuming you are a young male.
