No. The Senate never chooses the President. The House of Representatives does, if the nobody win a majority in the electoral college. (See the related question.)

Because the popular vote decides which candidate wins that State's electoral college votes. In the present case, the electoral college will hardly have a choice and could be said to be redundant, but this has not always been the case.

Who elects the President if the people don't?
The Electoral College formally elects the President, a few weeks after the popular vote. Electoral votes go state by state, and equal the number of Representatives (aka Congresspeople) in each state. In the case of a stalemate, the United States Supreme Court steps in, and declares a winner. This happened in 2000, to settle the stalemate between Al Gore and George W. Bush.
What is the role of the House of Representatives in case of a tie in the Electoral College?
A tie for first in the electoral vote count is just one example of nobody receiving votes for president from more than half of the appointed electors. Whenever that happens, the House of Representatives elects the president from among the top three electoral vote recipients. In doing so, all of the Representatives from each state together have one vote, and the winner must have the votes of at least 26 of the 50 states.
What is it called when the senate approves the president?
When the Senate approves Presidential nominees to the Courts or Cabinet members it is called "Advise and Consent." I'm not aware of any case where the Senate would approve the President. In the case of a tie in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives votes to break the tie, thus deciding who will be President.

What is is the impact of voting?
In voting for the president, the way the area or state (depending on population and representation in the Electoral College) usually determines how the represenative in the electoral college will vote for the president. But sometimes the rep. will go against what his/her region voted for and just vote how they feel. In which case voting did nothing. In voting for state reps and senate and house reps voting counts if you really get into that sort of thing.
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.
