If there is a tie for President, which house decides who will become President?

The correct answer is the House of Representatives. In the event of a tie in the Electoral College, the decision on who becomes President falls to the House, as stipulated in the 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This amendment outlines the process for electing the President and Vice President, and it specifically states that if no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives must select the President from the three candidates who received the highest number of electoral votes.

This process emphasizes the role of the House in representing the will of the states, as each state delegation has one vote in this scenario, regardless of the number of representatives a state has in Congress. This unique approach ensures that smaller states maintain an equal say in the election of the President.

In contrast, the Senate does not play a role in deciding the Presidency in case of a tie; rather, it is responsible for confirming presidential appointments and treaties. The Supreme Court's primary function is to interpret the law and adjudicate disputes, not to involve itself in presidential elections. The Executive Branch is comprised of the President, Vice President, and the cabinet, which would have no role in electing a new President in the event of a tie.
