No, miracles are required of candidates for the sainthood as a sign that they are in heaven. A candidate for the Chair of Peter need only win 2/3 of the votes of the cardinal electors.

How does the pope investigate to determine a miracle?

If you are referring to miracles submitted for a cause for canonization, the pope does not investigate. That is left to the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

Once they investigate thoroughly, they decide if they feel there was a genuine miracle that could not be attributed to natural causes. They then submit their report to the pope.
