The second time in history that the president would be decided by the House of Representatives was the race between Andrew Jackson, Crawford, Clay and what president?
Answer John Quincy Adams
Though Jackson won the plurality, no candidate of the four nominees won the majority so the vote went to the House of Representatives. Clay, who was dropped due constitutional restrictions, petitioned his fellow Congressmen to vote for Adams and the tide was turned away from Jackson, resulting in John Quincy Adams' win. "Old Hickory" Jackson would go on to win the 1828 presidential election.
