Let's say in a Presidential Election, no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes so the election is thrown to the house:

-What if there is a tie within an individual state's house delegation over whom that state should award its electoral votes.

-What if the result of the House vote is 25-25?

The House must vote again, until it can reach a decision. If the House is unable to reach a decision by Inauguration Day (January 20), then the Twentieth Amendment states that the Vice President becomes Acting President until the House can decide.

Would this be the outgoing Vice President?
