Lawyers do so when seeking to advise their clients. Other specialists may interpret limited areas of the law under specific circumstances. For example, an Environmental Engineer may interpret environmental laws and regualtions for a client to help the client understand what those laws and regulations permit or require him to do to protect the environment in a particular location. Anyone is permitted to interpret any law they choose to read, but there is no guarantee that their interpretation will be accepted by police or other government agencies charged with implementing or enforcing that law.

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.
If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
