You are absolutely correct. The answer is contained in the Constitution (Twelfth Amendment). There is no need to make things more complicated than necessary.
Although the exact issue we are dealing with is not spelled out, the intent is sufficiently clear to allow congress to deal with the exigent circumstances. There is no doubt that the intent is when the electoral college result is not sufficient, Congress decides according to the procedure specified and there is ample precedent for application of Constitutional Intent in the absence of strict guidance. The Supreme Court takes this approach quite often when resolving Constitutional issues.
