Was Bush v Gore a decision by the US Supreme Court to decide who would be President?
Yes and no. The 5-4 US Supreme Court ruling in Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000) didn't directly award the Presidential Election to George W. Bush, but the Court's decision to stop the manual ballot recount in Florida had that effect, and the justices knew it would have that effect because Bush was leading Gore in the State's popular election by a mere 537 votes when the case was appealed.The Supreme Court held a Florida Supreme Court recount of 70,000 disputed ballots violated the constitutional rights of Florida voters under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause because the counting method was arbitrary and inconsistent.When the US Supreme Court reversed the Florida Supreme Court, Bush was awarded Florida's 25 Electoral votes, giving him a total of 271 Electoral votes to Gore's 266, barely enough to put Bush in the White House.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

What president was elected by a decision of the supreme court?
The Supreme Court does not have the power to appoint a president. You are probably referring to the election of 2000 when a portion of the Supreme Court denied another recount in Florida where the election was close . Florida's votes went to George W. Bush and he needed them to win the election. Later recounts seemed to indicate that Bush won, but some still say the election was decided by the court. Or in 1876, a panel which included five Supreme Court Justices and 10 Congressmen ruled on the credentials of several electors and ruled all the disputes in favor of Rutherford Hayes, giving him the election. Both Bush and Hayes lost the popular vote.
