I am not sure what you want to know. The president f the United States is elected by the electoral college which is elected by the voting public. However, there are only two major parties and one of their nominees always win, so maybe your question is who chooses the two nominees . If so, the answer is a relatively few rich and powerful people who support the candidates for nominee. However, no one can be sure that their candidate will be nominated and if nominated, the election can go either way, so even if you spend a few million dollars, you can not be sure that you will pick the winner.

Which institution is a special body of delegates whose job is to select the president of the US?

What role does the popular vote play in a presidential election?
It has absolutely no impact at all. If something catastrophic happens before an election which could impact the general public's decision to vote well, it is the electoral colleges job to make sure that the correct vote is made. For instance, if the favored candidate's brother is charged with serial murder, and so people decide that they don't trust that candidate anymore, the popular vote will be against him, but the electoral college will vote for him because it is unfair to vote against the candidate just because his brother made a terrible mistake. The only impact people have in the election is that the popular vote is casted before the electoral vote, and so the electoral collage will usually vote the same way as the popular vote unless they feel that the popular vote was bias. The electoral college is not supposed to vote based on their opinion, but on the validity of the popular vote.
What determines the candidate the electors vote for in the electoral college?
Electoral college is actually the means which officially determines the election of the President and Vice President--if the votes are more than 50% for a single candidate for each office. They are actual people selected by the voters of the individual states; they are "pledged" to vote for a slate of President/Vice President, but they are not legally required to do so (and, in the case of death or disability, would be empowered to vote for someone else). They are "elected" for this single purpose, and electors for the major party candidates are usually chosen from among party loyalists in their respective states. If they don't get 50% in their balloting, the decision of electing the President goes to the House and the Electoral College is released from further duty.

Votes are counted by?
Votes are counted by normal citizens who apply/volunteer for the job. The votes are counted in the county in which they occurred. Citizens' votes are known as the popular vote. However, this doesn't decide who wins the election and ultimately has no importance. The victor needs 270 electoral votes to actually win the election. Electoral votes are votes given by the representatives and senators (Congress). If no candidate achieves 270 electoral votes, then the House of Representatives will vote between the three candidates who received the most electoral votes and the Senate will vote between the two vice presidents who received the most electoral votes. If the House cannot decide, then the vice president appointed by the Senate will become president until the issue is resolved.

How is the president chosen if there is no decisive vote by electoral college?
If no candidate receives a majority (which is currently 270) of the electoral votes, the election becomes the job of the House of Representatives, with each state casting only one vote. That happened in 1824. Andrew Jackson received the most electoral votes as well as the greatest portion of the popular vote, but because his electoral votes totaled only 38%, the House elected the President. Seven states voted for Jackson, but 13 voted for John Quincy Adams, making him the President. Four years later, Adams lost reelection to Jackson. In 1824, 32% of the electoral votes went to Adams, 38% to Jackson, and the other 30% went to two other candidates. In 1828, Adams again got 32% of the votes, but Jackson got all of the remaining 68%.
