What bargain put John Quincy Adams in office as the president?
Henry Clay threw his votes to President to Adams with the understanding that Adams would make him Secretary of State. This trade was possible because no candidate got a majority of electoral votes so the election was decided in the House . Clay won 37 electoral votes but finished fourth and so was dropped from consideration. He was able to get his states to go for Adams. He wanted to be Secretary of State because at this time that position was viewed as a stepping stone to the presidency. This move infuriated Jackson supporters because Jackson had received the most popular and electoral votes.
