I'm pretty sure that these days it's the newly-elected House that votes by state to determine the next President...

But was it always this way (ie before they moved the inauguration to January)?  Was it the Congress elected in 1822 or the Congress elected in 1824 that chose J.Q. Adams?

So when was the 1824 Congress seated?  Sometime before March 4, 1825?

Aha.  They voted on Feb 9, 1825.  The new Congress wasn't sworn in until March 4, 1825.  So it must have been the old one.
