What president was elected by a decision of the supreme court?
The Supreme Court does not have the power to appoint a president. You are probably referring to the election of 2000 when a portion of the Supreme Court denied another recount in Florida where the election was close . Florida's votes went to George W. Bush and he needed them to win the election. Later recounts seemed to indicate that Bush won, but some still say the election was decided by the court. Or in 1876, a panel which included five Supreme Court Justices and 10 Congressmen ruled on the credentials of several electors and ruled all the disputes in favor of Rutherford Hayes, giving him the election. Both Bush and Hayes lost the popular vote.

Typically, none.The Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) traditionally administers the Oath of Office to the President-elect on Inauguration Day, but neither the justices nor the Court participate in the election process.In the case of Bush v. Gore, (2000), however, the Supreme Court's decision to stop Florida vote recounts on the somewhat dubious grounds that the recount violated Bush's 14th Amendment Equal Protection rights, resulted in the Court preempting the electorate in determining who won the popular vote.For more information on Bush v.

How was the 2000 presidential election decided?
The electoral vote was very close and the vote in Florida was especially close. Furthermore, Florida's 25 electoral votes were enough to tip the election. After Bush was certified as the winner in Florida, a recount confirmed the Bush win. However, the Gore team filed suit alleging improprieties in the recount and eventually the Florida State Supreme Court ordered another large recount that could not be completed until late December. The US Supreme Court overruled the recount order and Bush remained the winner in Florida and so won the election.
