Yes. The President is actually elected by the Electoral College. It has happened three times in US history with the last time being 2000.
UPDATE: Correction -- A number of presidents never received a majority of the popular vote (wherein, majority means over 50%).
George W. Bush in 2008 only received 47.9%
Bill Clinton in 1996 only received 49.2%
Bill Clinton in 1992 only received 43%
Richard Nixon in 1968 only received 43.4%
John F. Kennedy in 1960 only received
Harry Truman in 1948 only received 49.6%
If you mean the popular vote the answer of no.

Electors are elected by popular vote but the president is elected by the electoral college. A president candidate can win the popular vote and still not win if he doesn't win the electoral college.
If there is not majority in the Electoral College, the vote goes to the House of Representatives. The president is then elected by a majority of states representatives.
The president of the United States is not elected by direct popular vote, but rather by the electoral college. A mere 538 people, chosen by voters in all the states are the ones who actually elect the president. The candidate with the majority of electoral votes wins the presidency.
A Presidential candidate can lose the overall popular vote and still become President because the US President is NOT elected by the popular vote. The votes cast by the Electoral College elect the President. This type of thing has happened several times before; this is one reason why Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms.
In a nonprofit, the president of the board serves as the direct supervisor of the executive director. However, that president typically only has one vote and still need a majority of the board to vote to terminate the executive.
To pass a bill to the president, there must be a majority vote in both houses (over 50%). If the president vetoes the bill, it still may pass, except this time it needs a 2/3 majority vote from both houses.
