Yes.

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.

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.
