For the first time in the history of the young United States, there is no clear front runner for the presidency in the election of 1824, and little party unity. Outsider Andrew Jackson wins more popular votes than John Quincy Adams, but when the decision is thrown to the House of Representatives because of a lack of an electoral majority Adams, supported by House Speaker Henry Clay, is elected on the first ballot. Adams' national vision is undermined by his poor relations with Congress. By the time his term of office ends, even his vice president John C. Calhoun throws his support to Jackson in 1828, and agrees to serve as his vice president.
