That is only for a contingent election, where no candidate gets to 270 EVs. House votes for POTUS, Senate for Veep. Here, House and Senate members vote individually on whether to accept or reject the challenge, and BOTH bodies must accept it or we are back to the original certified slate for a particular state.

I thought I heard that if the house and senate fail to agree, the Vice President breaks the tie.
