@4 Chris – No, Senators never elected the President as a result of the election itself. That task belongs to the Electoral College. The official ballots of the Electoral College are counted in the Senate and certified by the Senate, if there is a winner. However, in the event of a tie, the House elects the President. See the 12 Amendment for the procedure.
