The constitution says:
Quote
and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President

If there were no majority for any candidate and a tie in the electoral vote for third, how would it be decided which candidate the House of Representatives could vote for?
