Would I Vote For John Quincy Adams?
According to the many things I've learned about him, he seems like a decent person. However, I don't think I would vote for him. Some of the things he's tried to do I think are good for the country, but he was not able to pursue a lot of those things. I believe being a secretary of state suited him much more than being a president. He tried to do a lot of things for the country, but he didn't have enough support to carry out many of those things. He was a good person, but I believe he did not suit being president.
