Amendment 12 says that the House shall choose the President if no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote. However, this part was actually unchanged from the original Constitution.
12th Amendment - Ratified June 15,1804 Changed the way the President and Vice President are elected. The 12th Amendment means: - separate ballots are used for president and vice president. - the candidates with the greatest number of votes for each office will be elected if that number constitutes a majority of the total electors. - if a majority for the president is lacking, the House of Representatives shall vote by state from among the three highest candidates. - if a majority for the vice president is lacking, the Senate shall vote by state from among the two highest candidates - the vice president must meet the same constitutional requirements as provided for the president.
The Twelfth Amendment, ratified in 1804, separated the vote for president and vice president in the electoral college. If no candidate receives a majority in the electoral college, the amendment stipulates that the House of Representatives would choose the president from among the top three candidates. Each state delegation would have one vote in the House, and a candidate would need the support of a majority of state delegations to become president.
