Answer:

The United States Senate chooses the Vice President if none of the candidates for that office receives a majority of electoral votes

Explanation:

The U.S. senate is considered the highest house in the Congress, and along with the House of representatives, they both consist of the legislature of the U.S.

The senate has several responsibilities due its high position, and it is considered a representative of each state as it includes two senators from each one, regardless of the size of the state and for six years. In addition of authorizing accords and validating of many federal offices, the senate has the role of electing a vice president in case of absence of majority of electors. In that case, the senate prepares a session during which it has to choose a vice president between the top two candidates who received the most electors.
