Election process if no one gets a majority in the Elec College?

In a nutshell, yes, each state delegation gets 1 vote in the House of Representatives. So California would get 1 vote, same as Wyoming! But they can only vote on the top 3 electoral vote candidates. Whoever gets a majority is President, then they vote again for VP.   (See The 12th Amendment to the Constitution )
As you may know it's only happened twice - in 1800 when Jefferson and Burr were tied and in 1824 when 4 candidates had electorals, but none  had a majority.

What's really wild is if the winning Presidential candidate dies before the Electoral College votes.   Jeff Greenfield of ABC News wrote a book on this in the '90s.  Book was dumb but intriguing.  If you think the VP just moves up a slot to Pres., think again. He's not yet the VP-Elect, so can't assume the role of President-Elect.  I know that the losing candidate died in an election in the late 19th Century, and his electoral votes got splintered all over the place(Horace Greeley was it?) This is probably the weakest link in the Electoral College system.

If the House is evenly divided on the vote for Speaker I believe (but am not entirely sure) that the old Speaker would continue to hold the office until the tie could be broken. Either that, or the Speakership may be completely vacant until the tie can be broken. The Constitution seems unclear on this.
