Question 26 • American Government/Civics

The Electoral Vote is tied between two presidential candidates. What happens next?

Answer
A
The Senate votes to determine who wins the presidency.
B
The House votes to determine who wins the presidency.
C
The presidency is decided by the popular vote.
D
The presidency is decided by the Supreme Court.

Explanation

If no candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment sends the presidential election to the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one vote, and a candidate must receive votes from a majority of the states to win. The Senate chooses the vice president, not the president.
