Yes. If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United State Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
No times. The senate has never chosen the vice-president. In 1824 when no candidate for president got a majority, John C. Calhoun still won a majority of the electoral vote for vice-president.
That person was John Quincy Adams who was chosen as president in 1824 by the House of Representatives since no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote. Jackson actually won more popular votes and more electoral votes than did Adams.
You must be thinking of John Quincy Adams, our 6th president, who chosen by the House of Representatives after no candidate received the majority of electoral votes needed for election.

The president is chosen by an electoral college.
John Quincy Adams was chosen by the House after no one got a majority of the electoral votes.
John Quincy Adams was the only president who did not win a majority of electoral votes.
Under the 12th Amendment, if no candidate receives a majority of the Electoral College votes for president, the election is decided by the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one vote to choose among the top three candidates. To win, a candidate must receive a majority of the state delegation votes. If the House fails to elect a president by Inauguration Day, the vice president-elect serves as acting president until a president is chosen.
No, the president is not elected solely on electoral votes. Electoral votes play a significant role in determining the outcome of the presidential election in the United States. However, the president is ultimately elected by the Electoral College, which is made up of electors who are chosen based on the popular vote in each state.
