I'm not sure anyone knows how it'll work. The House hasn't been called on to pick the President since the nasty deal that ended Reconstruction (like 1872 or something). There may be rules written down, but there's no institutional memory to draw on. At this point, as much as I'd like to not live in Donald Trump's America, I really don't know what the better result for the republic would be. I won't shed a tear for him if he isn't picked, but I'm also a little afraid of the consequences.
