25. Each state was allocated a number of electors which was the sum of the number of senators(2) and the number of representatives in the House. The states could determine how they were elected. A Senator, Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the US couldn't be an elector. The states' electors were supposed to meet in their own states to prevent bribery and corruption. The Electors were required to cast 2 votes for the president, and at least one vote needed to be for a candidate outside of their home state. Whichever candidate had the majority of electoral votes became president, and the person who came second became vice president. If there was a tie in electoral votes, the House of Representatives would vote (1 vote per state). The person with the majority would be president and the runner up would be vice president. If there was still a tie, the Senate would choose. This system only lasted through 4 elections. Political parties emerged, so the Twelfth Amendment was created. It required the electors to cast one vote for president and a separate vote for vice president. Also, if none of the presidential candidates received an electoral vote majority, the House would vote on it; the person with majority votes won. This was the same for vice presidential candidates.
