The unusual and complicated presidential election certification process entwines all 50 states and the District of Columbia , the Senate , House of Representatives , the National Archives and the Office of the Federal Register .

It also involves the Electoral College a uniquely American institution that convenes in 51 separate locations once every four years to pick the president.

20 senators and 87 House members must back any challenge to the certification of a state’s Electoral College results.

In 2021 , it fell to Pence , as president of the Senate , to declare Biden not Trump the next president.

In the extraordinary event that no candidate wins in the Electoral College , the House of Representatives meets to elect the president in 1824 .
