If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
If no presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes then the U.S. House of Representatives will elect the President from the three candidates with the majority of votes in a special election in which each state gets one vote. This was established by the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Congress might decide a presidential election in the case of a disputed or tied Electoral College result. If no presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives would vote to elect the president, with each state delegation having one vote. The Senate would vote to elect the vice president if no vice presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes.

the have to get a background check on the president before they can elect him/her
If the United-States Presidential Election ends in a tie then Congress has to elect a President themselves, if the Democrats would be the Majority in Congress then they would vote for the Candidate running for President for their Party and he would be elected President of the United-States, and if the Republicans had the Majority in Congress then they would elect the Candidate running for President for their Party or so I've been told. I hope this answer helps :).
Members of Congress elect the leader.
The president-elect is the candidate who has won the presidential election in November, but cannot serve as President until Inauguration Day on January 20th of the following year.

To get a particular candidate elected to a particular office. If that candidate does not get elected to the office they seek, he or she does not get to serve.
Do the voters elect electors not the presidential candidates
Delegates from all the states meet and elect a candidate for president and then for vice president, Nowadays so many of the delegates are committed to a particular candidate by primary elections that one candidate can have the nomination "sewed up" before the convention occurs and lately it has been the custom to let the presidential nominee pick his running mate. This did not used to be the case.
