Therefore, as the Constitution mandates, the House had to elect the president from among the top three candidates who were Andrew Jackson (99), John Q. Adams ( 84) and William Crawford (41). Henry Clay (37) was dropped from consideration but still had influence with the congressman for the states he had carried.
After some serious wheeling and dealing, John Q. Adams was elected . Andrew Jackson's supporters screamed that Adams had stolen the election via a corrupt bargain in which Henry Clay got his supporters to vote for Adams in exchange for an appointment to Secretary of State.
