No , not exactly . In the event states are denied electoral votes or no candidate gets a majority , the House chooses the president and the Senate chooses the Vice President . This happened in the past twice the House chose the President in 1825 and the Senate chose the VP in 1837 . For the President , the House must vote between the three candidates who got the most electoral votes . In this case , it would Clinton , Johnson and Trump . Each state is allowed to cast one vote chosen between the representatives of the state and a candidate must get the vote of 26 or more states to win . <| sep |> I heard it . <| sep |> Everyone gives the 2007 LSU team a lot of crap for having two losses , but that team was actually very good and far better than the two losses suggests .
