December 1824 CE
The 1824 presidential election, under the terms of the Twelfth Amendment, falls to the House of Representatives, which is to choose from the top three candidates: Jackson, Adams, and Crawford.
Clay had come in fourth place and thus is not on the ballot, but he retains considerable power and influence as Speaker of the House; he and Adams share many positions on the major issues.
