I got curious and started digging and developed a question that I cannot seem to find an answer for. If the electoral college vote for President ends in a 269-269 tie the vote goes to the House of Representatives with each state getting one vote. My question is, what happens if the House vote ends in a 25-25 tie? I tried reading through Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution, but could not find an answer. I know the Senate will vote on the Vice President, but would they then also choose the President? I would appreciate some guidance and reading material that may help answer my question.
The House keeps voting until the tie is broken. Please see the election of 1800.
