Answer: The Senate.

Explanation: To balance the role of the House in breaking presidential ties, the Twelfth Amendment requires the Senate to handle that Job for tied vice-presidential contests. The Senate must choose between the two top electoral vote recipients, with at least two-thirds of the Senate's members voting.
