Anthony, we've got in 1824, we have four guys who've got a shot at the presidency and they're standing for the presidency.
You have John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, and then you have William Crawford, who's the treasury secretary, and you have Henry Clay, who's the speaker of the house.
So although Jackson wins
a plurality of the popular vote and the electoral vote, he doesn't win an outright majority.
The vote goes to the House of Representatives, where each state legislature gets one vote.
This was the plan in 2020.
right, not be able to certify the election on January 6th, then what would happen as is laid out in the 12th Amendment, the vote would have to go to the House where Republicans had held more state legislatures than Democrats.
Trump would then be certified as president.
Well, what happens in 1824 is the vote goes to the House
And the top three vote getters stand for the presidency.
That's William Crawford, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson.
And some of the states who voted for Andrew Jackson in the election in the fall switched their votes.
They become faithless electors.
And John Quincy Adams is elected in the House of Representatives.
It's very controversial.
Cries of a corrupt bargain and a stolen election immediately rise up.
And so Adams starts his presidency as a minority president and never gains the support of the American people the whole time he's president.
Okay, I'll do my best.
So Adams is this failed one-term president.
Look, here's what he comes into office proposing.
