majority vote required by the Constitution for election of a president or vice-president. In the event that no candidate secures at least 270 electoral votes (either because a third party candidate wins some electors or there is a 269-269 tie vote), the Constitution provides that the President shall be chosen by the House of Representatives, and the VicePresident by the Senate.
On two occasions in our history, the House did elect the President: Thomas Jefferson in the 1800 Presidential election where there was a tie vote in the Electoral College, and John Quincy Adams in the 1824 election where no one candidate won a majority of the electoral votes.
