What does the Constitution say must happen if no candidate for President receives a majority of the electoral votes? A. the Supreme Court gets to decide who the President will be.
B. the popular vote total is considered.
C. Nothing. Only a plurality of electoral votes is needed to win the Presidency.
D. Congress gets to decide who the President will be.
The correct answer is D. Congress gets to decide who the President will be.
Explanation: According to the 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, if no candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes, the House of Representatives will elect the President from the top three candidates. Each state delegation in the House gets one vote, and a majority of states is needed to win. This process ensures that a President is chosen even if the electoral vote does not yield a clear majority.
