John Quincy Adams was uniquely elected president in 1824 by the House of Representatives after failing to secure a majority of electoral votes, despite winning fewer popular votes than Andrew Jackson. The election was decided due to the Twelfth Amendment, and the influence of Henry Clay, the Speaker of the House, facilitated Adams's victory. This controversial process led to accusations of a 'corrupt bargain' and shaped future electoral practices.
