Andrew Jackson, already famous for his temper, was furious. And when John Quincy Adams named Henry Clay to be his secretary of state, Jackson denounced the election as "the corrupt bargain." Many assumed Clay sold his influence to Adams so he could be secretary of state and thus increase his own chance of being president someday.
Andrew Jackson was so wildly angry about what he considered manipulations in Washington that he resigned his senate seat. He returned to Tennessee and began planning the campaign that would make him president four years later. Jackson would serve two terms as president, and would begin the era of strong political parties in America.
As for John Quincy Adams, he served four years as president before being defeated by Jackson when he ran for reelection in 1828. Adams then retired briefly to Massachusetts. He ran for the House of Representatives in 1830, won the election, and would ultimately serve 17 years in Congress, becoming a strong advocate against slavery.
Adams always said being a congressman was more gratifying than being president. And Adams actually died in the US Capitol, having suffered a stroke in the building in February 1848.
Henry Clay ran for president again, losing to Jackson in 1832 and to James Knox Polk in 1844. And while he never gained the nation's highest office, he remained a major figure in national politics until his death in 1852.
So your answer is John Quincy Adams.
The election of 1824 is often referred to as the "corrupt bargain" election because John Quincy Adams won the presidency in a disputed manner. Although Andrew Jackson won the popular vote and garnered the most electoral votes, he did not have a majority. The election was ultimately decided by the House of Representatives, and Adams was chosen as president through a political deal with Henry Clay, who later became Adams' Secretary of State.
Henry Clay lost the election of 1824 because of the "corrupt bargain." He was the Speaker of the House and threw his support behind John Quincy Adams, who ultimately won the presidency.
