(Episode 49) Presidential Minisode 6: John QUINCY Adams
In minisode 6, we're minding our p's and q's - particularly, the "Q" of John Quincy Adams. Old Man Eloquent, as he was known, was the son of POTUS # 2 (John Adams), and a driving force behind the Monroe Doctrine we discussed in minisode 5. Sam is also particularly jealous that JQ became a lawyer without going to law school (not uncommon for the time).
Some fun facts? JQ lost both the popular and electoral votes, but emerged victorious and became President after a runoff election. We'll also talk a little bit about alligators (we swear it's relevant) and about JQ's dramatic post-Presidency exit from the House.
