Who selects the president and vice president if no candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes?

The House of Representatives elects the president from among the three with the most votes, and the Senate elects the vice president from between the two with the most votes.
1824 was the only time to date that none of the presidential candidates got enough votes. Although Andrew Jackson had the most electoral votes and the most popular votes, the House gave the presidency to John Quincy Adams (which they had every right to do).
The 1836 election was the only time that none of the vice presidential candidates received enough votes, requiring the Senate to pick the vice president.
