Amendment 12 of the Constitution says f no person receives a majority of the electoral votes for President, the House of Representatives elects the President. In such an election the representatives from each state have one vote among them. A majority of these votes is necessary to elect the President.
This amendment was brought about as a result of the election of 1800, when Jefferson and Burr, candidates of the same party, received the same number of votes. Although it was understood that Burr was the candidate for Vice-President, he could have been named President by the House of Representatives.
