No law, statute, or rule entitles any party to House seats based on how their state voted in any presidential election. The allocation of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives is determined by the U.S. Constitution and is based on population, as measured by the decennial census.

While presidential election results can influence the political landscape and party representation, they do not legally entitle any party to specific House seats.
