John Adams's rivalry against Thomas Jefferson was what led him to run for president
At the time, Neither Andrew Jackson or John Quincy Adams had enough votes in the electoral college to become President. The vote then went to the House of Representatives, which was led by Henry Clay. Clay detested Andrew Jackson and worked a deal to put Adams in the White House, if Clay was appointed Secretary of State. It was called the 'corrupt bargain.' John Quincy Adams was named President.
