If the House cannot decide on a president, the newly elected vice president becomes Acting President. If the Senate ties as well and cannot elect a vice president to serve as acting president, then my assumption--following the order of succession--is the speaker of the House becomes Acting President.
This would remain the case until the House elected a president, or the Senate elected a vice president who would then serve as acting president.
I can't see this ever happening. If Congress put us in this kind of situation for very long, ther'd be hell to pay.
