The electors, aka the Electoral College (though that term is not used in the Constitution). The US Constitution specifies the number of electors and the way they are to be apportioned among the states. It doesn't explicitly state how the states are to choose their electors. At present, all state choose their electors based on the results of the popular election; in most states it's on a "winner take all" basis, but they're not required to do it that way.

That depends. Most of the time it is the U.S. population through the electoral college that decides who is president. In the event of an indecision it is congresses constitutional responsibility to chose the victor. However, during the 2000 election the supreme court decided to resolve the dispute.

The electoral college officially elects the President of the US - in theory based on the popular vote from American elections (although this isn't always the case).
