The piece explains that if no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes the election goes to the House with each state casting one vote. If no top three reach a majority by January 20 the president cannot be installed and the vice president would assume. A vice presidential vacancy could arise if no majority for the VP, and Senate action would decide the VP race. If both chambers deadlock the Speaker of the House would serve until a Chief Executive is chosen.
