Who elects the President if there is not a candidate with a majority of the electoral vote?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If no candidate receives a majority of the electoral vote, the House of Representatives votes to elect the President from the three candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote, and a candidate needs a majority of state votes (at least 26) to win. The Senate would only vote to elect the Vice President in this situation. The President of the Senate (who is usually the Vice President) does not have the power to elect the President in this situation. The Supreme Court also does not have the power to elect the President.
