- Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond of New Orleans (84)
- Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles (131)
USCCB by-laws provide that the first election is that of the president by simple majority vote of members present and voting. Following the
election of the president, the vice-president is elected from the
remaining nine candidates. In either election, if a candidate does not
receive more than half of the votes cast on the first ballot, a second
vote is taken. If a third round of voting is necessary, that ballot is a
run-off between the two bishops who received the most votes on the
second ballot.
