Скачать или смотреть Electing a VP in the Senate

In the unique scenario where no vice presidential candidate secures more than half the electoral votes, the U.S. Senate is tasked with electing the vice president, drawing only from the top two vote-getters. This process, mandated by the Twelfth Amendment, requires senators to vote individually, not by state, and demands a quorum of at least two-thirds. To win, a candidate must garner a majority—currently at least 51 votes—of the present senators. Unlike typical Senate decisions, the vice president cannot use their tiebreaking power in this election. Historically, this contingent election method was only utilized once, in 1837.
