It depends on when the Electoral Election is. I used to think it was in January. If that is the case, the new house would vote for President and the Senate would pick the VP.

Someone said the other day its in December. I have no idea how they would deal with that.

The electoral vote is not official until the votes are counted by the newly sworn house membership on 3 January 2017; therefore, the vote is conducted by the new house membership. The house can only consider the three candidates with the greatest number of electoral college votes for president. The vice president is elected by the Senate from the two candidates for vice president with the greatest number of electoral college votes.
